  1. Checking out the fit between the upper and lower hulls!! Plus you can hardly see my track mistake!!
  2. Since the heat index (feels like) temperature is supposed to reach 109F today in Richmond it’s a great day to hunker down in the AC and work on the Me410B. I’ve completed step 13 assembling and installing the main gear, main gear doors and main gear tires which are weighted, which is a nice touch!!! So it’s now sitting up on its own feet!!!
  3. Completed steps 11/12 assembling the port and starboard wing flaps, engine nacelles with exhaust manifolds plus joined those assembles to the wings. Finally I attached the wings to the fuselage, which was a bit fiddly, and the horizontal stabilizers! It’s actually looking like a wingy thingy, lol!!!
  4. Oh probably so!!! The instructions in the kit are truly vague plus the spruces are not labels A,B,C etc adding to the frustration of finding parts. The fit has been pretty good but hardly stellar like a Tamiya kit. I think it’ll finish well once all the flaws are covered with paint, lol!!!
  5. On to step 11/12!!! After this brief commercial, lol!!!!
  6. Busting right along on the Me210 this morning. Completed steps 9/10 assembling and installing the tail wheel and tail wheel doors plus assembled both post and starboard wings. How to install the flaps in step 10 is very vague requiring a bit of head scratching!!
  7. Thanks Martin. I’m so spoiled building Tamiya kits that building a Revell kit especially this old Monogram offering is very challenging. The newer Revell/Germany kits a much better to build.
  8. Continuing on with the Me420B this morning.completed steps 7/8 assembling cockpit frame and side cannons.
  9. Finally on the assembly of the upper hull. Completed steps 14-15 attaching the fenders. Also had to drill out several mounting holes for headlight frames etc.
  10. I’m approaching the chassis painting stage on my Das Werk 1/16 Sd.Ktz 251 also!!! Plus it’s road wheel assembly time too, lol!!
  11. Okay the tracks are a bit cobbled together but one the upper hull skirts are installed plus a touch of dirt you’ll never know!!!
  12. Revell 1/72 Mandalorian Razor Crest. (Finished) Rather than using unfamiliar lacquer based paint I chose to stay with my tried and true Tamiya acrylics using their metallic line for the first time. I’m very please with the results and it gives me the confidence to tackle Revell’s 1/48 DC-3 sitting in my stash. This kit was so well engineered I would have thought I was building a 1/72 Bandai kit!! Highly recommended!
  13. Finished my Tamiya 1/35 Panther today. Great kit and a bunch of fun for $21.95! Highly recommended for those who build the Dark Side.
