Brilliant build, John! Yes, she needs her own thread for sure. Stunning result, man!

Dang I like the look of the Panther. Too bad it was on the wrong side

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Hmmmmmm

This will be aweome, Doc! Just remember that if you're going to make the leaking German as a tanker, be sure to use the smallest of the three appendages. For tanker realism and all.....

I KNEW I’d seen that style before!

Fruil. I'd enjoy armor if it wasn't for the b@#%y tracks!

Noice!!!!

Well, it could have 5,000 guns in it, though....

I’ll have to look, but I seem o recall the framing being very vague on the kit bubble. Not positive, just a feeling. But hey, we all knows where it goes anyway, so no biggie.

Repeat these words, my friend. QUICK, EASY, OOB, BUILD. Though shalt not modify, super detail, add buckets of AM, and/or go insane on detail in any way, shape, or form, notwithstanding mangled fender and maybe metal barrels. Build it quick and have fun. It’s a quick break from the insanity of crazy aircraft builds. Cheering you on, Цомраде Скуиррел Цхасер

Looking good so far. Were you able to find an aftermarket canopy or are you going to use the kit vac canopy?

There may be 25 parts in the entire kit. A brilliant kit!

Huh?

Some good news.....

Yep, they have you build entire structure for outboard engines, complete with oil tanks, and then seal them up behind the firewalls.

One of these is enough... But now I make cheats. I’m not of “Use every part in box” Club. Empty promises?

Humbled resin perfection.

Even the An-22 is almost 3 ft long in 1/72

An-225 in 1/72 for the WIN!!!

IL-76 series are beautiful aircraft.

Brilliant work, Wouter! I've seen the finished pictures, but for the first time I read all the way through the steps of construction. Your problem solving skills are extraordinary! Legendary perhaps?

OK, I get it. Yellowstone was neat, although the fact that were driving around on the floor of a 60 mile wide paper thin lava dome never quite left my conscience. The awesome power of nature sitting right underfoot is very apparent there. Come to think of it, one road we were on had the pavement turn liquid about 4 hours after we passed by. Apparently a fissure opened up and melted the roadway. the folks on the other side had to backtrack for a 100 mile detour to get around.

Old Faithful is in Yellowstone. That's not Jackson Hole, is it? We saw Old Faithful 5 years ago.

Sort of like Chattanooga being an inexpensive place to visit. Unless of course there's 10,000 rabid plastic model hoarders coming to town in August
