Two are from Monogram, one in 1/48 scale the two other models are in 1/32 scale; all built OOTB except for the Helldiver, I have modified the spinner, added four blades propeller and I have drilled out the dive brakes and opened the cowling flaps. All were brush painted.

Monogram Curtiss SB2C-4E Helldiver of VF-84 onboard AC USS Bunker Hill in February 1945 .Built in 1967, I was 19 years old at this time.

The second is a P-51D Mustang from Monogram in 1/32 scale, built ootb in 1970 brush painted with Humbrol # 11 Silver and coated with Testor's gloss in spray can. The Galloping Ghost decals are from Micro-Scale I think.

The third is the venerable Hawker Hurricane from Revell in 1/32 scale built ootb and brush painted with Humbrol enamels in 1969. Decals are from the kit.

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
