Hoorah!!!! Look who showed up! happy happy happy!

Thanks guys. This is a real dust making project. The entire thing is resin, including the AM. Fun and games. I’ll try to do Jerry’s creation proud.

Congrats, Rick. It’s awesome they gave you neat keepsake trophys. I like winning when the awards are unique and thought out.

Typical Trumpeter, John. Build what you can see. The rest goes in the spares box

John, as per normal, you’re putting on a clinic here. All I can say is BRING IT!

That’s looking great, John!

Dang Buddy, what a punch in the gut. You’re in our thoughts, Harv. I know I don’t have to say that cuz you know, but I did anyway.

Well, last year I did a resin P-63, three 1/32 T-28’s, and Wingnut’s Felixstowe. So it CAN be done....

Uh oh, it’s the Mad Marine. Agent Smith himself.... He’s baaa ack!,,,,

If I remember correctly, the turret area was where the issues arose on the AM kit. It’s been a few years, so my total recall is a bit fuzzy

We have some AM, too.

If it’s anything like the Accurate Miniatures kit, and it looks similar, closing the fuselage will be an ‘adventure’.

It is there Peter, just faint. It’s on the block as well. A Malcolm hood would be cool but there’s nothing out there

Canopy is vac of course. Yay! I love resin. I hate vac. But this ain’t so bad because we get a bucking board/template for the canopy. Plus a spare canopy in case I bork up the first one. Onward

The scoop is a drop fit.

Just more fitting of the major parts. Everything actually fits well, very well, considering it’s probably THE kit that started the trend to high scale fidelity 1/32 models.

Awesome Jeroen! Awesome!

Well, this is my Service to all my friends in the modeling community. I am building a resin P-51B and upon the final matte coat, just know that a state of the art, 100% accurate injected kit will hit the market.

Happy Birthday Cees! Happy happy happy!

Yup, I’ve been playing with it off and on for a year. I finally have the fuselage fitting pretty decent. Not that I really tried hard.

Ancient if I had to put a finger on it. like Father Time....

Just like old times

This is kinda what I have in mind.

What’s amazing is that the whole mess almost even fits!
