Larry, yes this shows the propellor I'm talking about. so I will paint my JJD F4F props this way. however leaving them all black is not a problem. look at the picture above the F4F. a rack of replacement props, 90% of them are all black in color. i imagine this is just a way to quickly identify...

this photo is of Grumman F4F that John Jenkins had modeled in blue paint on the hanger deck of the Saratoga in Oct. 1941. this is what the plane looked like at that time.

Yes, they made them with black as well as unpainted. My point was the actual photo found of the actual plane John has depicted, shows the unpainted propellor sleeves. so i know for a fact that at least on that day in October 1941, THAT plane had silver prop sleeves. So I will paint mine thus...

Larry, they were added to root portion of blades to alter flow of blades, either for more local engine cooling or performance in bite in the air. Look at pictures of P3 Orion modern day sub patrol craft. These turbo props have these sleeves or cuff on the blades commonly. Or search f4f wildcat...

i prefer the blue paint scheme. I see only one pic of this actual aircraft (I like my models, if possible to represent as accurate a depiction as they can) it is on the hanger deck, and although the pic is very light and hard to tell, it appears to have the blue upper surface painted in the...

54mm (or close to it) artillery piece and crew, world war 1 or world war 2? I want to add a set to my collection. I have some from earlier periods, want to add A very purposeful, or menacing piece of iron.

I agree with those praises for Sierra Toy Soldier. I do not get to spend nearly enough time there as I used to. But there is a massive amount of things to look at, and want. in a great location too. Mike and Myzka are two of the finest people you will ever meet! I wish I could visit as often as...

The JJD accessories really make a difference in what you can create. I've got my F4U, a real score for my collection. unfortunately, I have to wait for space and cash to get some ground crew. I did find this Britains Leatherneck collection Marine pilot, in my general figures population. He seems...

Just received my #167. don't want to belabor the discussion with repeated comments. but had to say something. This model is an amazing piece of work! $288 is a steal! exhaust stack detail alone is superb. in addition, you can see the engine cylinders behind the open cowl flaps! has gun sight...

This Corsair looks great. I wish I could afford all the deck crewmen and handlers. what I really hope we see is of course a pilot figure, but even better, the pilot is looking out the cockpit and at a crewman who waves the pilot off by pointing down the deck, as he ducks under the wing. very...

Went to FL site to see clearer image. yes, lance with perhaps wrapping of fur. you can see the tip more clearly.

My guess is American Plains indian with full eagle feather headress, yes, bear claw necklace, and a very large diameter coup stick. a little too big maybe. the pinto horse is also a giveaway. he has a beaded mask on his horse,saddle blanket, and i'm hoping (certainly can't see any here) maybe...

here is the bay item number for the Royal Marine officer I've been hesitating on. 183014211979

I just checked and he does not have anything listed on eBay right now (masterinhistory) he had a very nice Napoleonic British Marine officer, wish I had snagged that one.

The figure itself was made by Andrea. the painter in St.Petersburg is Sergey Kulnev.he has a few figures on eBay under the name "masterinhistory" very nice guy, definite talent. and his packaging is bullet proof.

I found this little piece on eBay. took a chance. after 38 days in transit, it's much worth it. you can't see it well in pic, but he painted the brass hat badges on the kepi, nicely done. just minor things I can accept, that are not perfect. but this is a good representation of a soldier from...

Great Book! I have it. well worth the cost. I received my Frank Luke from Grey Goose. very very nice figure. unlike many, this actually looks a little like him. wish he had his Lt's bars on shoulders. still an excellent figure! Grey Goose is a very high end establishment. I don't have any space...

Louis, I have read about your predecessor. And i have just recently added his likeness to my collection. In my case,he chose the green cloak, sash, and a different shield on the day painted. but a fine image of a famous warrior, in any colors. thank you for the story.

I would love to see a feature not typically offered and maybe because it's not possible realistically enough. But spinning propellors would be very cool looking. I know clear acetate discs are not very realistic, but perhaps cast or molded and the blurred tips air brushed lightly? either make...

Thank you for the slide show. Gives me a chance to review this as if I was not stuck in my office slaving away, and instead relaxing at home admiring my wonderful Biplanes. I think for the money JJ charges, we are taking advantage of his lack of corporate greed. He truly seems to do this out of...
