  1. I'd say the only "required" after market is the seat which is a beauty. All that other stuff, in my humble opinion, is far from "required" and just adds more headaches to the build. I'll say this though, they DO dress it up well. 😄
  2. I just have lots of time to devote to building Peter. Keeps me off the streets and "sane" LOL!
  3. LOL Kevin! Both were very fortunate to come through the Ploesti Raid although they did have a little damage. Those Hasegawa B-24's are really nice kits but pricey. I just ordered a "J" from SB and it was $70.00 plus shipping. Sure had to bite the bullet to do it.
  4. Very true Peter. Sure can be aggravating! 🤪
  5. Thank you Peter but, in all honesty, they all do have their faults. It just don't show in the photos! LOL
  6. Making more progress despite my foul ups!
  7. I've been working on this one off and on for the last year. Finally finished it this last week. It goes well with the 1st one I built a couple of years ago. Both were Ploesti survivors. Decals are from Fine Art of Decals Ploesti Specials.
  8. Agreed Peter. Their instruction diagrams could use some tweaking as they leave a lot of room for guessing. I've had to pop it apart twice to re-attach parts correctly. 🤪
  9. Coming right along. Had a couple glitches getting the fuselage & innards to match up but corrected now.
  10. 20/20 hindsight Ernie. Kane, Compton and Ent screwed things up.
  11. Alright! I have one in my stash and I'll certainly be keeping up with your build. Maybe that will give me the needed incentive to build it. What scheme do you plan on doing, grey/green or earth/green?
  12. As expected Peter it's outstanding! Very well done!!!!
  13. I agree it has a Skyraider "look", especially in planform .
  14. Good luck Ernie! I wouldn't even consider doing all that on the kit. It has more than enough headaches without adding more. If you overcome all the problems, etc and get it finished it should be a knockout!
  15. I've thought about it but that would be a big mother! I might if a earlier version such as the "E" "F" or "G" were available.
