By accident I had an idea for a funny scene yesterday. The crucial think was to find a running figure an a little motor for running propeller. Today I had to play dr. Frankenstein to get the right shape of my running mechanic...
Choppa: Not really in flight but with turning prop and in "motion" (mechanic AND his plane...🙂 )

Murph the mechanic fleeing his own plane ? I'm curious ! The P&W looks perfect.

Choppa: I'm really fascinated by Lego Technik. What you sea on picture is a mine loader and 50% my property: pay the half, build the half (the other half payed and build Alex my son).

Believe it or not: Tamiyas kit of the Buffalo is more than 40 years old. Amazingly it can still keep up with today's standards. Unfortunately the kit offers clear parts for closed configuration of the cockpit: all three parts (windscreen, moveable part and the turtle deck) are molded together. Separating the parts does not help because the thickness of the material the middle (moveable) part is too high.
About 20 years ago I already build the Buffalo and vacumformed all three parts using my toaster. Just now I found leftover parts in my "vacumformed spare parts box"!!!!! Surprise!

It is very stunning: Humbrol has more than 150 different pains but no semi mat yellow... two days ago I hat to mix 50% H154 and 50% H69. I know that mixture does not dry fast (to days at least) but each time I'm scared that it never will...

Hanno: bitte Danke gerne.
Decals in place minus plane name: Thunderbarell. I used red ink and caligraphic pen to paint (write) the plane name on transparent decal film.

Thank you Mates. Im glad that you like my Barrel.🙂
Nearly for one week I tried to make the airplane's name. The first run with pencil and red ink was not satisfying. Then I tried a copy of a pc-drawing via laser printer. It worked but I was not satisfied with the result again. At last I tried the same at home using our Brother ink jet printer and ink jet decal paper. Again without success.
At last I used red dry transfers for the letters and Lines for the bolt. Had I known this earlier...😉

Flawless looking Buffalo, never knew they did races. Interesting subject indeed. The finish looks superb, and although markings are minimal, they sure look great.

Absolutely fantastic scheme. These are great kits, I built mine as a "captured" Japanese bird

Bernhard, just found the article on Modellversium - I missed it here. What a cool little story telling dio 👍
Great workmanship, and I like the idea with the "plug and play" connection between aircraft and base. Well done again my friend!
