| Dale1416 | Guillows Series 2000 - B-29 Super Fortress | Parked | 17-Apr-10 18:45 |  | | Views : 5937 | | On the left, myself as a small boy in the 1940's displaying my first B-29 (a "Cleveland" kit). 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! |
| Dale1416 | Guillows Series 500 - Nakijima Rufe | Parked | 17-Apr-10 18:12 |  | | Views : 2852 | | Japanese float-plane - Nakayima Rufe. I added twice as many stringers and ribs to these kits; painted with Krylon spray Hunter Green gloss. |
| Dale1416 | Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis | Parked | 17-Apr-10 16:58 |  | | Views : 2820 | | Last but not least....The Spirit of St. Louis in walnut scale by Dumas. Sorry for monopolizing all this time while trying to get my virtual hanger completely uploaded. It took a lot longer than I thought it was going to. Now it's back to a more leisurely pace. Time to go build some more models! |

| NiteSeer | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #41, Mitsubishi J2M3 Radien "Jack" | Parked | 17-Apr-10 16:50 |  | | Views : 2005 | | Completed fuselage. It's very light as the formers are 1/32 and all the strings were cut from contest balsa. This is a David Diels short kit. |

| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #319, Sparrowhawk | Parked | 17-Apr-10 16:37 |  | | Views : 2599 | | The Curtis Hawk kit was supposed to be U.S. Army trainer, but I wanted to try masking a different paint scheme. With these colors, it became a John Deere plane as an after thought....ready to do some crop dusting! |
| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #319, Sparrowhawk | Parked | 17-Apr-10 16:34 |  | | Views : 2577 | | This Curtis Hawk is a walnut scale by Dumas aircraft. Walnut scale = all wing spans are 17 1/2". these Dumas kits feature laser cut parts and come in 22 different airplane model kits, but cost more than the 500 series Guillows. They are light weight, rubber powered flying models with very little scale detail - such as no instrument panel, scale propeller, etc. I usually add extra stringers and it is fun to add scale details. |
| Dale1416 | Scratch Built Ford Tri Motor | Parked | 17-Apr-10 16:19 |  | | Views : 2768 | | This is actually a Dumas kit, but I couldn't find that aircraft listed as one of the selections. This Ford Tri-Motor is in walnut scale by Dumas. |
| Dale1416 | Guillows Series 500 - Junkers JU87 Stuka | Parked | 17-Apr-10 16:14 |  | | Views : 2713 | | The Guillows Junkers JU87 German Stuka Dive-bomber. |
