(...) I do, actually. It's not in my brickshelf account, yet. I need to redesign my whole web page but I just haven't made the time. (URL) the intro to the page. I did a cheesy diorama for it, as well. Just some things I had that I thought would fit (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Ahhhh :) Actually, Eric Joslin and I did exactly that last year (when I was just embarking upon my WWII modeling frenzy!). Eric did a fantastic 1950s-comic-book-style newsreel writeup[1]: (URL) thread in which we discuss the anachronistic (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.gaming)

(...) Hey, you built an F-4 too? I didn't know that. Its not on your BrickShelf gallery - do you have pictures? (...) Actually, the 3-bladed prop is WW2-era accurate. The 4 bladed prop wasn't added onto the F-4 until it served as a ground attack / (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Drew!! From one F-4 builder to another, well done! I wish I had some of those black props for myself.. they look much better than the 3-blade prop I had to use on mine. Do the landing gear retract? I can't really tell from the pictures, but it (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) It sure does--thanks to all. I just needed a graphic explanation of how the engine stroked. :) I've always passed Angelucci up, only because he goes for breadth over depth.

My latest creation is a Vought F-4 Corsair. This is my first attempt at a real WW2 color scheme, and I'm quite pleased with the results. I used every single blue slope I own in the Corsair's long nose. Unfortunantly, I sacrificed a few details in (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
