| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #208, Walnut Tiger Moth | Build | 21-Jun-10 11:06 |  | | Views : 1768 | | After 2 coats of clear dope, I brushed on Testor's 1144 Gold enamel for the trim color. Then masked off the gold and spray painted the entire model with 2 coats of Krylon gloss burgundy. |
| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #208, Walnut Tiger Moth | Parked | 21-Jun-10 10:58 |  | | Views : 1573 | | This is actually Dumas Kit #201...."Mr. Mulligan". I remember seeing a beautiful model on Virtual Aerodrome done in the burgundy and gold paint scheme. I liked it so much, I decided this "Mr. Mulligan" plane kit with it's radial engine, would be a good model for that color combination. After 2 coats of clear dope, I brushed on Testor's 1144 Gold enamel for the trim color. Then I masked off the gold and spray painted the entire model with 2 coats of Krylon gloss burgundy. I had some gold colored pin-striping that I had used on my Dodge Dakota truck years ago, so I used this to trim up "Mr. Mulligan". The engine cowl was a painstaking job, but it sets off the model. |

| Dale1416 | Guillows 25S-DC22 Convair B-36 | Parked | 21-Jun-10 10:52 |  | | Views : 1605 | | Since it was molded in silver plastic, there wasn't much painting required. This was an older model produced back in 1980. |
| Dale1416 | Guillows 25S-DC22 Convair B-36 | Parked | 21-Jun-10 10:51 |  | | Views : 1617 | | Here's a close-up of the cockpit. I did a little bit of detail work and painted the cockpit. Hard to see, but the model has two pilots and a lot of detail inside. |
| Dale1416 | Guillows 25S-DC22 Convair B-36 | Parked | 21-Jun-10 10:49 |  | | Views : 1604 | | Here's the B-36 "Peacemaker" Bomber. I built this model for a friend who purchased the kit over 30 years ago, but never got around to building it. In fact, the B-29 model that I recently finished was from this same gentleman who asked me to build it for him. The yellowed instruction sheet is dated 1980. The kit is produced by Monogram, and is reportedly the largest plastic scale model airplane ever produced. This was a fun build and a beautiful model. |
| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #208, Walnut Tiger Moth | Parked | 21-Jun-10 10:32 |  | | Views : 1413 | | This is actually a Dumas Kit called "Mr Mulligan". It's a walnut scale. The kit number is Dumas #201. I couldn't find this kit on the site, which is why it is listed under this particular Dumas Kit and not the correct one. |

On the right, here I am today, almost 65+ years later with my second B-29. This one, a rare Guillows Series 2000. Bigger boy, bigger toy...my how time flies! |
