Lockheeds Electra/Hudson just legendary aircraft.Well whaddya know - almost identical interest with mine. I like Pre ww-2 (interwar years 1930s) light commercial aviation as well. Especially the Lockheed electra 10/JR/12/14 stuff. These have some sleek lines, designed by Kelly Johnson of SR-71 fame. Whatever looks good, flies just as good.

The Zvezda 1/72 MiG-29 9-13 was confirmed as a re-tooled (corrected) Italeri mold, that's how good the Italeri mold was from the 1990s.
I bet the same with the Zvezda 9-19 mold.
Future floor polish is now out of the market in the US (don't know about Japan), I still have a couple of bottles from when it went away a few years ago, almost out now. But there are alternate products.
I also weather but 'subtle' is the name of the game. You can use diluted black fountain pen inks to weather, mixed with 91% alcohol. The pigment inks (instead of dye-based ones) work better on the engraved lines, but have to be careful about applying the engraving ink with a fine nib. Very dilute Ink wash, cleanup then highlight the sun-burnt areas with lighter-toned paint. Works great with military stuff and some older civilian airliner type stuff as well.



Man that's a short run kit, you must be a sucker for torture! Ha ha haI bought the Azur Fromm Dassault Flamant kit last year and have been slowly working it into a French colonial executive/ Viceroy sort of transport. Something about this insect looking thing that always caught my eye. That fat cigar shaped fuselage/ forked tail and brutal colonial history in Nam/ Cambodia/ Laos and Algeria And it has a notorious combat hack record too:

I will electrify my Flamant and add LED's and motors for turning props.Man that's a short run kit, you must be a sucker for torture! Ha ha ha
If you need radial engines for your 1/72 builds - your best bet is small stuff. Detail is insane (resin and photoetch).

And there is a great Lockheed Model 10 build here in Brit Modeller.
Look at the result (with the truck and Chrysler 1948 sedan, which is ICM I believe),

Do a base for a cargo version over Algiers engaged in the Algerian civil war.
I had no choice on the flamant. Azur Fromm it had to be.......its an older brand name for Special Hobby group.
