Thoughts about Modeling

Arkansas Fine Scale Modeling

Welcome to my site to discuss fine scale modeling. I hope to show my work covering 1/32 and 1/48 scale aircraft and 1/350 and 1/200 scale ships.

I hope to be able to share my various modeling builds on this site. Above is my finished engine for the Zouki Mura 1/32 DO-335 A kit. This engine has quite a bit of details and creating the finished version was quite a job as the final painting is a very tedious process

This is the engine for the Zoukie Mura Ta-152, finished and ready to mount to the model. I have all the various engine mounts attached and have finished the detailed painting. I would have preferred to leave the exhausts off the engine until after I painted the model, but there is no way to attach them after the engine is mounted to the airplane with the engine cowls closed. If you choose to leave the cowl open, you could leave these off until final assembly.
