Hey Bill! Thanks for the info! I'll check with Home Depot and see if they have xylene or xylol. That could be just what I need. Very much appreciate it! Best, John

More progress!!! The wings still need to clipped.

Progress. Click for best resolution, etc.

I look forward to seeing the completed model. I know it will be a beauty!

I still have a bunch of their paint and use some from time to time. I expect there is a compatible thinner around, I just don't know what it is! LOL Thanks Peter!

Some nice work there! Looks good.

Coming along nicely. Looks good.

Thanks Peter. Something a bit different from the military look! Nice change of pace for me.

Thanks Gaz!!! I felt like I was in a rut in my modeling until I found the availability of the good quality racer decals. Now I can proceed with a bit more enjoyment in my builds.

Thank you Kai. Still a long way to go but I look forward to making some nice progress.

A bit of progress on the cockpit area.

LOL Peter. I'm pleased you have so much confidence in me! We will see! 😐

Thank you Peter. Hopefully this one will turn out well. I see some hurdles ahead however. 😉

Probably so but you'd need a template to go by I suppose.

LOL Gaz! Nearly so! 😄

I sure hope it will be good! LOL No, I had a Tamiya kit in the stash waiting for attention so now it's time has come.

This ought to be a real eye-catcher. It will have to have the wings clipped and racing tips added which I'll have to scratch build (fingers crossed it goes well!). 😉

Just getting started on this one. It will be one of E.D. Weiner's racers. I've removed the fuselage fuel tank and added a "floor" piece plus I've removed some of the side wall areas that were likely removed from the real a/c (in my estimation LOL) and added fuselage stringers that would then be visible. I think the yellow/black color scheme will be very eye-catching!

Many thanks Frank! I'm happy you like it. It's now a favorite of mine! LOL I'm just getting started on the yellow/black racer Bardahl Miss #49 so will post some WIP photos shortly.

I wasn't able to get a account due to some problem with the "captcha" I entered whatever that is. No clue. Thanks anyway Gaz!!!

I'm gonna add a comment here: This build has turned out to be one that I really like. Gotta be one of my most favorite! Now I'm going to do another P-51 racer and who knows what else. LOL

Thanks Gaz!!! I check it out.

Thank you Ron! I appreciate that. Thanks again.

Thanks! Very much appreciate the nice comments. I do plan another P-51 racer in the near future and maybe other racing a/c to follow. A great change of pace.

I'm in need of some Floquil thinner/brush cleaner or Dio-Sol. Can't find any on ebay, etc. Would any of you have a bottle you'd sell me?
