How's the progress on this beauty , Phil?

Wouldn't it be cool to see one of these flying? What an awesome bird...... For me it would be cool just to SEE one for real......

Maybe beer/wine/ spirits..................... some good steaks.................... but ass wipe??? like Ernie says I can use a leaf IF I HAD to...... well maybe two leaves......

ooooo, Big Mack.............. would like to see more pics of that beauty.................. looks like a Century Tow unit...... I like that a lot !

I clearly don't understand this Butt Wipe hoarding thing, of ALL things, why ass wipe?? Not something I would think is a top priority thing............ ?

No worries, I understand, but what ever you did sure seemed to work and doesn't need any morning repairs to my eyes..... you have great skills Pal...

All of the above is right on, a buddy of mine who is the Prez of the society of the 1 to 1 Mosquito we are restoring, said it is more about the journey getting to the finished product than the finished product itself...................... I kind of agree with that as well..... for example, some of us, well most of us have the same interests, and it was ( is ) the journey I'm on at the moment of my insane interest in all things fire bomber or air tankers, the journey to get at least one of my ideas to come alive, takes me here, and figuratively to Texas, where I 'met' Tony, and we formed a bonded friendship, and I found out how generous he is..... so that being part of the journey to get to the end is worth a whole bucket of gold to me, new friends and HUGE generosity................. makes me think this world isn't as bad as some say it is.............. just my 2c worth.....

MASTER Class !!!!

It's gorgeous , Harv !

Very cool build.............. I learned the other day, by sheer accident, that Flettner himself was brought to the USA during operation Paperclip, and became the lead designer at Kaman..................... when I saw that it was an .......... ah duh ........... moment.......... I had no idea.... duh....

I wish I could, saw that show in 1990, and still think of it all the time, it is excellent and on the list to do again............... when I can.............

Rob's right the engine is spot on, the wires and tone on the brass is really sweet!

Those rivets sure look good under a coat or two of paint.............. awesome !

I can see why you enjoy this... the blending is coming along really smoothly, Mate...... how or what did you do to tone down the 'roundels' ?

I absolutely agree 100% , this is coming along wonderfully, I can see I really need to step out of MY comfort zone, I really like whats going on here.... and Harv is right, you are way better than you think....

EXCELLENT !

so delicately precise.................. fantastic stuff.................

, and crapped on the seats !

After ALL you have been through................... so unfair, Pal............. Tony, and Hubert sum it up perfectly............. talk and post all you want when ever you want, as always you can PM me if that is of any solace to you, hang in there, we will all help you beat this , Dale................... You're a GOOD man....

At the going down of the sun, we shall remember them......................

Redline Hobbies, eh??....................... hhmmm.................. hope they have a website.....................
