Alright, good stuff folks!! LOVE the Dakota, very nicely done….Black Panther has the ‘Borough of Lambeth’ Spitfire (NK-K) in his collection that I am currently working on and he did it as the box illustrates it, with a cream colored underside, but I am going with the directions this time and painting the underside a light blue…we’ll see what it looks like. When I started this thread I just wanted to know what you guys had in your collections AT PRESENT…like everyone else, I have building since I was a kid and I’m 40 now, the list would be far too long to even attempt to write out here of the kits I have built that got destroyed, damaged and repaired, lost, blown up, test flown, given away or just mysteriously vanished (a miniature Bermuda Triangle?) but I’m sure the list of models that I have built would number into the hundreds…some of my favorite kits might not have been of the highest quality (usually Monograms and Revells) but the had cool moving parts like folding wings and dropping bombs and such-always loved the Monogram Dauntless in 1/48 scale for the dropping bomb, opening flaps, retractable gear, moveable gun and prop…but inevitably something somewhere broke and you had to glue it in place. Only recently have I gotten into the higher priced, high quality kits like Hasegawa and Tamiya, and recently did an AMT/Ertl A-20 kit (reasonable results, not spectacular) and an Academy P-40B (great kit, crap decals) and continue to experiment. It’s a blast when one comes out right!
