Kosh book

I have yet to get this years 8-10 pics printed (only there a few hours got to see a f15 fly and the planes in the plaza really aside was running around getting free stuff) but here's the cover/what I have so far excluding the envelope pics not all is set/ready/done but a chunk are last time I tryied to really work on this project my cut was bugging me so I'm not overly concerned right now 


First things first: the cover the pockets do hold stuff I have the sticky roll in one side I forget what's in the outher side and the sisors seem to naturally fit perfectly there 

Now this cover is from a "uniformed" book the book itself got damaged but cover was just fine (think was rained on) as were the pages so I had to hunt down another book that would work for me 


I found a blue photo frame type and was reasonably happy with it got home cover was perfect on it so it's the new home 




First off is the thunderbird page really the first one I did --I still have to get/make a "f16 thunderbird" logo for the bottom 


The night airshow featuring the aeroshell teams "twilight" preformance 


More night airshow --the 2 pics on sides her plane is painted like af1 and allegedly Regan called her "the First Lady of flight" during her show she plays "God bless America" which is where that's from 


Fireworks off wing tips 


The actual fireworks (first year started with eaa sparkler which is also what the drawing in front is based from) 


Actual fireworks from 2? Years of airshows 




Mess but trying to organise so like photos can go together 


Thunderbird and airshow pics 


The likely start of my pearlharbour recreation (well worth looking up on YouTube I saw at eaa done by tora tora tora I know there's clips I've seen them) 

Hopefully I can get a bit farther sooner here? I also have a garden one I want to work on and I have a recipe book to work on as well so as normal I'm neck deep in 8 projects lol --have fun y'all 

Little work/starts


Decided I wanted to work on some stuff a little I'm mostly trying to get a ton of paper model files on my computer and organised by what they are models of that seems to really be taking forever lol! 

So pics? 



Decided to slap some green paint on the zero looks shoddy right now but when I get somewhere I think it will look better 



And the f16 that I assembled not looking at directions this has about 3 coats of paint on it and it's gonna become a thunderbird as small as it is (using a paper model paper clip stand to hold it) that will really be a challenge but will tell me how ready I am to do the kc or not

Kcs and another

Sorry if these pics seem "sideways" I was trying to get a quick shot 


First off the kc parts are atleast as small as I'd think they'd be but will be fun as I still intend to make as a Mitchell based one 


And a friend gave me a lead on this there were more I really wish I had more money! 3 bucks! I hate being so broke! But I got atleast one!

Kc!

My life has been crazy enough I'm trying to redo my room and seems no space for modelling right now but I did get the kc135 model I've been wanting its regular price was like 45 bucks first markdown was 27 then went 16 and that's when I got it I know I'm gonna do it as one of the ones based at Mitchell field and being that scale will be way tricky but I have faith I think the redtail was ok for what it was

Some good finds

We took a little vacation and as normal we went shopping and I love shopping clearance! So I found a few models at hobby lobby mostly 1:144 


However the f16 I got at price with a coupon it ended up in the range and the p40 is a 1:72 


Then at target in the dollar area I found a "gold" black and white paint and as I'm intending to go back to using cheap acrylics --I'm also gonna see how possible or not it would be to do the f16 as a thunderbird we will see how it goes

Kosh scrapbook

Leave it to me! I'm doing a scrapbook with my kosh pics but I have pics from 2012-2014 and I think a few more missing so that's annoying but I started with some of my thunderbird pics and my first page is done 


There's the page 

And some of the pics I used along with the front of the scrapbook --I went thru my pics and am slowly cropping them so I can print and do the rest as well

Birdie and a little work

First ones from yesterday 


Couple bombs and the planes in the back I feel like building and don't wanna bother with the 1/300 planes as there way too fiddly for me right now 


Directions luckily the p47 and zero I can paint the pilot later don't know if I'll feel like it or not tho lol 


And here's p47 zero spit and typhoon all together 


Also got the tail art on the f14 so gonna have to finish its paints at some point 


A big rubber band ball then the tubes ones from the dollar store outher a target there also at hobby lobby (allways has a 40% off item coupon) as well as Michaels and joanns (both take competitior a coupons including hobby lobby's)
