The postman just delivered my Halberd Cavalier F-51 set. VERY nice detail work and great looking decals. I'll get started on this very shortly but I'm torn between doing the USAF marked bird or the non-camouflaged Bolivian bird. Both appeal to me so we will see! This Aerofax book has some good photos and info on Latin American Mustangs.

I've been using Roy's stuff for a long time. Always 1st class.

Thanks Paul. I'm glad you like the results of my "labor" LOL.

Thanks Martin!

Thank you Gaz! Something a little different this time.

I have one set aside for the Halberd Cavalier conversion Carl. My USPO tracking says it should show up in the next few days. Now we need to get Peter to do one too!

Thanks Gaz. Nope, no Russians.

LOL Dave! Not a problem!

Thanks Dave. Yes, I'm afraid so. They all are short. 🤪 I'd recommend getting this reference.

Ready for paint!

Agreed!!!

Thank you! I appreciate that.

LOL "Very nice" doesn't come close Peter. More like OUTSTANDING! Well done.

LOL 😂

I just have plenty of time to build nearly every day Peter.

Nearly ready for some paint. I'm waiting for a canopy mask set first which is supposed to show up tomorrow.

LOL 🤪

Plug in place. A little scribing of panel lines and it should be good to go.

Thanks Peter. It was a bear to build alright (it's the sand colored "Devastating Devil" model).

Thanks Peter. Six including one terrible Kitty Hawk kit. Here they are: (I don't think I've left any out!)

Thanks Mike. I laminated several sheets of plastic card to get the thickness I wanted then measured everything, cut out the plug and now, after some cleanup, it will be ready for insert when the time comes. Then I'll spread some putty over it, sand it smooth and then it's ready for paint, etc.

Next is clean the plug up a bit and have it ready for later install.

Time to build another SH P-39 kit. The first order of business is to measure and cut the rear fuselage and insert a 5/16" plastic "plug" to get the right fuselage length.

That's good news! I'm pleased Harold's stuff will again be available. Good luck!!!
