Added an upgrade to my Iwata Hi-Line HP-BH today....... A new trigger/lever .......Usually found on Iwata's Custom Micron series Iwata part I-545-4. This is wider, square-shaped, with larger surface area than the old one. Very comfortable.

Got this today😀 Yes, another Tamiya kit, OOP and not the easiest kit to find......Usually found in Thunderbirds markings. It's Tamiya's Republic F-84G THUNDERJET (61060) in 1/48 . You see this boxing with standard USAF markings less often. I was glad to find it.

Hoping the best for your recovery, and yes, it's best all who can should get themselves checked.

Yes, it was very nicely done. I have an Aber Barrel ....somewhere. I looked at an PE set for it, Aber, I think, but the instructions looked a little too fiddly for my aging, shaking hands, to accomplish. What I would like, is a fuel line set for the side tanks.....but always out of stock or located overseas.so, I'll try to do some light weathering.... I mean, I don't think these things were really used much. I'll try to make parts look a bit rusty, chipped, and dirty. No fake mud however....I hate fake mud if poorly done!

I like it😀 Nice work!

At one time, I collected guns and had a number of black powder cartridge rifles and carbines. I even had a a French Model 1866 Chassepot rifle, a kind of needle fire, early bolt-action rifle that used fully consumable nitrated paper cartridge It was fun making the cartridges for that😀 I also had Martini-Henry rifles, Trapdoor Springfields ,Remington rolling blocks, a 1879 lee rifle, ,Mauser 71/84 rifles, a Snider Enfield Carbine, a dutch Beaumont, Swiss Veterli, Italian Vetterli-Vitali, a Smith carbine, and a Peabody carbine.

Not a fault of USPS.....but of the seller. Waited 4 days for item to ship.......then Emailed the seller. "Oh, I'll get it sent out monday". Well, he made a shipping label and has not bothered to get it sent off " Usps not in possession ". I hate when sellers do this. I ordered (paid) For this item a week ago. When I used to sell on EBay I took the item to the post office moments after the item sold. I even brought the item to the PO sometimes by bicycle! I was working full time during this period. I know people can be busy.....this includes customers! Ok...I feel better now.

Great talent on display😀

Fantastic details on the engines😀

Cool project, looking great. I built a few black powder rifles from CVA kits back in the 80's nothing like the quality of your build....but fun nonetheless😀

I remember that one Rob😀 I was hoping to find something like Iraq war graffiti decals for it. Since there's no decal markings in the kit I guess I'll have to make an effort to weather this thing to make it not look so plain. I have some friul tracks on the way......With the Tiran, that's two sets of Friul tracks for the T-55 I've ordered in as many weeks...but they're worth It in this Case. A long while back I ordered a set of Eduard PE screens for the Enigma by mistake.....Now I can use them! Yes, In some cases people are trying to get stupid money for these things...I paid about the same as a new 1/35 kit...about the same as a Dragon kit in 1/35 (I will Never buy a Dragon kit)

No, but I did click on that exact same listing and seller while browsing on EBAY .....strange🤔 .

Nice work FA😀 I've been looking into the Zvezda UAZ 3909 , an interesting little 4x4 van thingie.....looks like a good kit

I've found that those little disposable dental brushes work well in combination with Tamiya airbrush cleaner. A small, pointed, liner paint brush inserted from the rear will clean Iwata nozzle tips. Push it through until the brush hairs come through again using the tamiya airbrush cleaner.

Nice work Kevin😀
