On a PTO kick lately, and I expect it’ll continue…. I love the twin engined mayhem distributors. I’m thinking a J version with the 345th BG might be in the works. tons of amazing nose art for these. Almost as good as the B-24s

Thanks Carl! Now I just need to learn to attach, mask and fill canopy before painting. Less seam work that way…

I guess I should have opened this. maybe I still should.

And the wings now wait their turn to get tore up. Crazy how newly sprayed Non Spec Sea Blue looks compared to the top of the fuselage.

Rear fuselage is looking just great.

Cut out the sliding side glass. A bit of a job, but then I polished it and dipped it for that perfect clear look.

Carl, that second pic looks like the sun is flipping you off!

Cool to see. Had about 3 minutes of totality. Be quick on your camera as it comes and goes quick

No joke, I’ve had a couple oddball weirded out folks here already. Odd….. it’s started.

There is plenty of pastel in the gun opening which will simply blow away tomorrow

But fear not, a touch of water and alcohol washed away our sins… Starging afresh. Well now let this sit overnight and re-examine it tomorrow evening. If I like it, we’ll seal it, then round the edges and give it a bit of depth. Earlier today, I mixed up some ANA 606 semi gloss sea blue for leading edges and such using Sea Blue XF-17, Flat Blue XF-8, Neutral Grey XF-53, and Gloss clear in the Tamiya range…

Kinda looks like it had a fire onboard.

Hello again, folks! After peering at what I had done so far compared to what few pictures of Love Bog showed, I thought it needed a tiny bit of darkening around the big gun, so I grabbed my trust pastels and did a “minor” course correction, being unwilling to leave well enough alone. The result reminded me of that scene in one of the “Airplane!” Movies where the lady was applying lipstick in the lavatory right as the big bird hit turbulence. Thankfully, I do this sort of work in pastels, sealing with clear between steps, so the black and dark grey washed right off. LOL Here is your cringe worthy moment of my build….

Mike, this is absolutely mind blowing phenomenal work, man! Incredible job on a not so basic kit. I’m soaking it all up in droves. Crikey!
