…Tamiya Skeeter in quarter scale; replaced entire nose with Cutting Edge interior…
…please comment…
Woo-hoo! Love that cheesecake! Keep it coming!
Hey by the way, your photos are framed and focused excellent, but I detect a slight blue-ish or green-ish cast to all of your (most excellent) projects you have thusfar posted. Have you set the “white balance” on your digital camera? If not, doing this will reproduce truer colors with the light setup you are using.
Comment ??
Sniffs bravely through watery eyes looking at that thing of beauty, the clumsy fingers typing out words of praise hardly able to match such skill, and it’s a ‘Skeeter’, oh be still my beating heart… sigh… [#toast] Totally terrific Manstein old chap, damn fine show and all.
All the best,
Mick C.
Well, I’ve seen a lot of your pictures over the previous few days, and all I can say is “WOW!”
But I also have to wonder - are you a guy/gal masquerading as a model production line, or are you posting pictures of your fabulous works that have been done over some time period (as in, not over the past week or so!)
Really, excellent work from all the builds you’ve posted.
Another fine build Manny. Just how many birds do you have on the shelf.
…a gaggle, a flock…A LOT…
…guess I need to start taking requests instead of posting randomly…what do ya’ll want to see next? (maybe I have it already built)…
I’ll play “Stump the Manstein”. How about a JU87 “A” version??
Close up photography can be brutal & in this case it sorta hi-lites a minor fit problem with the glass nose & some rather ragged painting on the glass nose frame work. Can’t see enough of the rest of the model to comment further.

…yeah, the entire nose was cut off and replaced with a replacement nose from Cutting Edge so things didn’t fall back into place like I hoped…I don’t mean the nose had resin inserts, I mean the entire nose was replaced with a resin one…the mosquito was unique in that it had plexiglass framing around some of the “glass”…that is some of what you see as ragged…not my best work…I do think I probably post some of the closest pics in this forum, and in the figs and armor as well…
Ok how about an F7F Tigercat?
…darn, I open my mouth and the 1st plane stumps me…but I do have it in the stash…LOL…any Spitfire fans in here?
So is that a no on the F7F?[:-^]
…no Tigercat either—never liked the looks of em to be honest…
Ok one more try : How about a TS 11 Iskra (polish jet trainer)
…stop it and go look at my Wellington…
Stuka or something Japanese.
Ok, ok, I got one more…
How about a Tupolev TB “Zveno”??[swg]
Fantastic work on the Mossie. That is a very seldom seen model.
