LOL All my bottles come out empty! 😄

Thanks Harv!

Master Barrels MG's installed.

I'm glad you like it, thanks.

Aires cockpit with FineMolds belts in place.

This is next up. I've always liked those very late war camo schemes and this one really appeals to me. I'm installing a Aires cockpit and will use some FineMolds seat belts. Since I couldn't come up with appropriate numbers for the white 16 in my decal stash I have some that should be just right coming from Fantasy Printshop in England. Hopefull they won't take too long to get here. I plan to use various brands of paint to get the colors I feel look "right". That includes Testor's MM, Ammo acrylics, Vallejo acrylics, Tamiya acrylics, Colourcoats, and Xtracolor. I hope it turns out well!

Yes indeed it did have it's moments. Never had one that was so warped but I'm glad I was able to correct it and go on and complete the model. I'm glad you like it Ernie.

Thanks Scott! The issue was in doubt at one point! LOL I too am glad I got it finished. I'm glad you like it.

Thanks Paul! I'm glad you like it.

Thanks Martin!

I didn't think so either Peter and I just didn't want to fool with it. I'm glad I changed my mind.

LOL Peter. It sure DID have it's moments. Glad to have it finished thanks. Goes well with my other RLAF bird.

Thank you Mike. You described my feelings exactly. Always knocking something off, etc. Very aggravating! I likely will go back to it later on as I think I have too much work into it to just quit completely. We will see.

Finished with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19916-rlaf-t-28-done/

Got this one done with Hubert's help! He mailed me the needed gun pod pieces that I had somehow misplaced. This is my 2nd RLAF T-28 and possibly not my last! I used a Aires cockpit set to replace the sparse kit item. The seats are from my stash with the armored back plates are cut from sheet styrene. Painted with Colourcoats and Testor's. Decals are from AOA. I hope you like it!

Live and learn Kevin. Haven't built a ship in many years so it's like trying it all over again. It seemed like the right approach but it just didn't work out this time. Something to file away in my memory for whenever I decide to build another (or resume work on this one). 🤪

More progress.

Thank you Peter. I'll be cross-eyed by the time I get this one done!

I rarely build ships but this one has been on the shelf for a while (along with several others). I decided it was time to build it even though I hate dealing with all those tiny fiddly bits. 🤪 I intend to model it in Measure 21 which is overall Navy Blue instead of the splotchy scheme. This has gotten to be to damn aggravating so it is going to the SOD. The PE railings have a high cuss factor to get them properly attached. Three hands would come in handy. Trying to hold the model without knocking something off of it is a mission impossible. I can do without the aggravation so now it will spend time on the SOD while I find something else to build that is enjoyable.

Thanks Chris. There's no telling what it was that had all that interest. For sure, we'll never know! 🤪

Thanks Peter.

Thanks! A little something unusual.

I had this Tamiya 1/48 P-51B partially built so I decided to resume working on it and finish it as the one in the photo. I used a Aires cockpit set for the interior. Markings all came from my decal stash. I hope y'all like it!

Very nice build Peter! Looks good!!!

Y'all are probably correct as I too figure he's just trying to stretch, etc. Stiff and sore. 🤪
