Welcome to the "Light Side"!

Ayuh. LOL

This kit was supposed to have been released a few weeks ago but I haven't seen it listed on Scale Hobbyist, Sprue Bros., or HLJ. Might be a good thing though for my long suffering wallet. A neat looking a/c. I did a DML one in 1/72 YEARS ago and put it in a spurious RLM75 over RLM76 NF scheme and coded it G9*BS . I think it would be a knockout in 1/32.

It's funny alright. Someone used the same video when Testor's bailed on some of their paint a couple of years ago.

Looks like I'll do this one (unless I change my mind again! LOL). I'll leave off the the paint on the nose as I'm sure this a/c had solid sea blue there at one time.

Yes, I have some of that and it's good stuff.

OUCH!!!!!!!!

Undecided right now but likely up (to save display space!).

Thanks!

Thanks Carl. I'm glad to see that you are a member here too.

Yes, they are enjoyable builds as are the P-51's and Spitfires. I just wish they would do a couple of F6F Hellcats.

Thanks Dave! That sounds like a good plan.

Well said Mike.

Just about done with the cockpit.

No it's CA gel. Scale Hobbyist has it. I think using it will be more convenient than the IC Gel I have used. It won't replace the Testor's tube glue though.

Thanks Bill. Not yet on the current -1D. Just about to get the cockpit finished. Pics soon.

I've decided to give this one a try. I've used IC Gel for a while but it looks like this might be just the ticket.

Thanks Jeff. I take a look at it.

Thanks Bill.

YES!!!!

Right on Jeroen!

Thanks Jeff. I'm glad you like it.

Thick CA is one thing I do use. I was hoping someone made a non-stringy polystyrene glue but I guess we'll have to be happy with Testor's stuff.

I've used Testor's tube glue for many years. The only gripe I have with it is it's so stringy. I've looked around on several suppliers sites for a alternative but haven't found anything that looks like a good replacement. Any suggestions?

Thanks Martin.
