For my next model, I chose the Messerschmitt BF-109 Emil. I have to give thanks to Shaun Sullivan and Gary Thomas; Sullivan for inspiring the use of screwdrivers as machine guns, and Thomas for inspiring the blended insignia. Thanks, you two! (now (...)

(...) Thanks so much - I appreciate the comments. I'm actually redoing a few things (again...), but I think I'll put up a page somewhere (instead of just brickshelf) for this and some future project ideas. I'll post the info whenever I get (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thank you very much. The model is fairly front heavy (engines and all), so it balances very easily on the tricycle landing-gear. I did have to shift the side gear to towards the rear of the plane in order to balance properly. As for the (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Normally, I'd just sit back and silently admire someone's efforts, but as model aircraft are a long-time obsession of mine (35+ years) I have to say: I am in awe. Given the inherent limitations imposed by the medium, this is amazing. (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Congratulations Tosiaki It is really an excellent model. Thank you for all the pictures. I agree that you have caught the spirit of the Sherman tank in you model. Your solution for the wheel arrangement is very inventive and good-looking. Is it (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Thank you for seeing <ALL And sorry that there are few pictures. Then, many pictures were added. (URL) are many variations in M4, grasping each type carries out difficulty, and it is from a paddle. I have been to the library today. Of course, it (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Tosiaki-san, Nice work indeed. I'm generally not interested in military models, but your tank looks awsome. The Sherman has a specially attractive design and you have captured not just the looks, but the spirit behind them. The thread area is (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

An excellent model, in a number of ways. I agree about the wings being too short, but I think you did a great job of capturing the angles at the base of the wings, which is probably the hardest part of the Corsair. One note about nomenclature (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
