As you may remember these were homemade decals. As you can see I still have a lot to learn about home made decals, but I don't think it's terrible. Here's where I am.
Thanks for looking.
This is my blog for my scale model building, and sculpting. Other hobby posts could include my fossil collecting, my herps or arachnids. I hope you find it interesting enuff to read. Enjoy.

The AD-1 and the F5-D coming to the end
I managed another hour or so in the room today and managed to get the decals on the AD-1. As seen in the pic, the wing isn't on yet. As I imagined - rightly so - that putting the blue strip decal was difficult. But I did get them on and put some micro-sol to get it snugged down. It puckered and while it was drying I moved on the the decals of the F5-D.

More of Muroc's AD-1
I've been tinkering with this one on and off for a few weeks now. It's a fairly simple kit, and it all goes together nicely --
until I come across my nemesis - the dreaded Vac form canopy!!
This kit is no different. Measure and cut, measure and cut. Until I cut too much then it's filler time. Well it's filler time. :-P
The sucky part about that it that once you apply the filler which is the Tamiya putty this time, progress stops as you have to wait for the stuff to dry. So I ended up working on this model last night for a whole 10 minutes...
More later,

Muroc AD-1
After finishing the New Horizons model, I was looking for something that I could get through quickly.
Looking through my pile, I came across Muroc's AD-1 model. Muroc was a garage kit Co. that was based out of the gift shop of Edwards Air Force Base. They put out a number of kits before going into hiatus a year or so ago.
The AD-1 is a resin kit of an experimental variable wing aircraft . There were 79 flights between 1979 and 1982 which evaluated the basic pivot-wing concept and gathered information on handling qualities and aerodynamics at various speeds and degrees of pivot.
