Yeah, that's great, I hope they can find a way to curb the HUGE shipping costs from the USA a little bit..... great news though for sure ...

That's why I asked, just wasn't sure.....you guys have way more expertise than I do, and I always get the right answer here.....

Harv.................. did you ever try those new cutters?? How do you like them

Thanks Gaz, I will go back and re-read your technique and see if I can find the said wire needed..... looks relatively easy................

I agree with the guys, Gazz, looking top drawer.............. hey , now I need some advice from you... I have the Encore Blue Max Pfalz, I have heard the Roden landing gear is a bit delicate, do you think I should buy the SAC Pfalz gear for the Roden kit??

VERY nice, Ron !!!

yeah, I like the larger pic too,thanks... but I'm fearing it maybe 'diecast'?, BUT it mated with the D9R so maybe a kit.... either way it sure looks good

Well, what ever size it is going to be, ( and I think it's gonna be BIG ) it is going to be very cool, and tell a great story.... can't wait to watch this come together...

that cast hull looks so real, with the paint and details..... awesome so far, Frank....

Oh me too , Mark, but I would be happy even with 1/35, I can't see who the manufacturer is though.... any ideas ? And I have heard nothing of this if it is to be forthcoming or not....

Rog............... how BIG is the diorama going to be?? Holy, that's lots of iron............... very cool...

it's the paint I'm curious about ............... enamels?

It was fun, Carl.... you will enjoy the task...

Do I see a Cat excavator there??

Yeah, I'm with ya Ernie,...... a key,..... a choke,.....a carb, ..... a cap and rotor,..... a headlight dimmer switch ON the FLOOR,..... a horn ring,..... style and grace...............

Phenomenal

Even though Phil put me in the back row, I am feverishly taking notes for my build, and this is an awesome tutorial, for me to try to expand my mediocre skills

That's really sweet

I will give it a try for you , Mark, ............ Nelson, British Columbia

Not sure if he has decals or not, but Jerry does http://www.modeltruckin.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_144&zenid=euspatkepiv5c76pur0vunutd2

I agree. Steve, India is getting blasted and with such a huge population, I can sort of see why.... I sure wish we could get a handle on this thing... here in B.C. we have been 'banned' from moving from one health authority to another ( we have regional health areas) it is a good idea in theory, and probably should have happened a long time ago as I live in a relatively sparsely populated part of the province, and Vancouver and area is the largest population base, and of course that is where most of this thing starts and then get moved around the province due to travel. My only real beef with the travel restrictions is how it was presented from the provincial 'official'.... he layed the law down, in no uncertain terms, and I guess as that needed to be put in terms like he did, still , it was a bit harsh for those of us who have been following the rules since this thing began, and he has the RCMP road blocks at the health borders stopping cars and checking to make sure it is 'essential' travel only...you have an opportunity to turn around or get a $500 + FINE..... I get it, and it is a good thing, it was just the delivery, made me kind of shake my head, BUT there are those who cheat the rules, and maybe, just maybe if we just all tried at the same level, maybe we just might get to a point where we can live again. And Cathy and I feel a little more secure as we got our 'shot' a couple weeks ago.... here's hoping...

AWESOME engineering, Ron.... how was the Cat kit to build? Any issues? It looks fabulous, and were the decals included? Or did you get the set from Jerry?

BUT, Poppy IS cute and I think knows it too

The prop is outstanding.............. and I am in for all ideas and techniques for prop painting.....

I'd like to sit in as well.
