President Dave
Lockhart graciously collected the brag sheets and took photos of the models
this month so I could attend a family reunion.
Gary Litavis had a Monogram
“Eager Beaver” 2 ½-ton Truck. This venerable kit scales actually closer to 1/35
scale. Gary painted it with Tamiya paints, and employed some MiG pigments to
dirty it up.
Gary also had his
completed M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle (ASV). This Trumpeter kit is
in 1/35th scale and is completed as deployed in Iraq during OIF. Gary
has it in a vignette setting with some concrete jersey barriers and pylons.
Joe Geib continues
his law enforcement vehicle build with Revell’s 1/25th scale Chevy
Police Car. Joe painted it with some Model Master and Krylon paints. He again
used aftermarket decals to model a Georgia State Patrol cruiser.
Mike Idacavage had a
work-in-progress, and Airfix Lockheed U-2C. Mike is completing the kit as the
first U-2 to take off from and land on an aircraft carrier.
Mike also had his
completed Cessna Citation I KLM Airlines jet. This is the 1/48th scale
Hasegawa kit with Draw decals.
Fred Heil darkened
the sky with his “Titanium Overcast”. His model of the B-36 Peacekeeper is the
Hobbycraft kit. He scratch-built the bomb cradle and opened the bomb bay and
landing gear compartments. Fred visited the SAC Museum several times to
research their B-36 while working on this project.
Dave reports we added
two new members at the meeting, Andy Roberts and Brit Bunkley. Coach Bunkley
brought his 1/35th scale FT-17 French tank. He built the Meng kit
with the cast turret and finished it with Tamiya paints in a meticulous WW1
scheme.
Dave Lockhart
completed his 1/48th scale Me-163 Komet. He added Eduard photo-etch
and used Model Master paints for the finish.
Brit Bunkley’s FT-17 was
selected as the Model of the Month.
