Dang that's some hail there... Nah, I'll take my -10C for a few more days...

So, small victories. Just dryfit, but I couldn't help myself... Going to paint some subassemblies, and work on other bits and get seats and such finished. Enjoy!

And now, and in color! I am impatiently awaiting the mail from Ukraine with my Reskit F-111A cockpit section!

I'm a smidgen late to the call, but AK has a lacquer color as well in the real color air line... RC290. I just bought a jar myself... Needed insignia white for my Intruder!

Yes! I'm a terrible reviewer! It's decent quality, but you can tell it is scaled up. some parts are clunky, but it comes together like a Sabre Mk.5 ish or F-86-30. There is a also a F-40 boxing. I got the second one because the first one came together fairly easily... I thought I'd build another! (also the older one was a casualty of too many moves...)

Hey! I built it before, and I believe it's a pantagraph kit of the Academy 48th Sabre. It's a fairly straightforward build, but it has some minor fit issues. It's the first kit that Kinetic did in 32nd.

I got one heck of a deal on the Hornet!! 99.99 canadian, still sealed. Needless to say, I got it! Now I need TWO decal sheets. But I don't think It'll be a canadian hornet...

The A-6 is on the bench but then I said yes to overtime (gotta finance the habit) and the wife took a dive and ended up with a severe concussion... no glue-sniffing or noises for the time being!

Ha! No! I want the Sabretooth tiger in the red tail band decals, but I don't know if I'll get that lucky!

@BlrwestSiR good to know! I'm searching for some Canadian decals too. not easy to find for sure... I like the sabretooth tiger from 439 Sqn I believe...

the fuel cap on the UH-1D was on the RH side, not the LH, and it sits in between the sliding door guides. Search for any UH-1D/H or Civvy Bell 205/212/412. It's the same for all of those.

Oh I forgot to mention, I have a Kinetic F-86F on hold at my local purveyor of styrene, with the Golden Hawks stickers! Have built one before so I know what I'm getting. Now I just need to find some aftermarket for it!

Nothing BIG, but I got a few 48th kits... Eduard Royal Class Spitfire Mk.IX, Airfix Chipmunk, CA Gannett (Wanted it for YEARS, after I stupidly sold it), and a Tamiya F-35! Being a Norgie (Norwegian for those who don't slang), both the Spit and F-35 come with options for the same 132nd Air Wing, RNoAF, so I'll likely do those! Cheers, Feels good getting back on filling the stash rather than thinning it!

Sorry for your loss Ernie.

They are certainly lovely with everything out...

In a conundrum.. Folded or straight wings? Anybody have thoughts on this? Model is quite large, and I can keep the wings "detachable"... Tough decision for sure. I really like the look with the boards cracked and full flaps....

Obviously some weathering on the seats to come, as well as decals on seat and ip. Intakes need some work, then we slap together...

Been quiet, but there is movement! No images as the ones I got were completely out of focus, but whatevs. Cockpit is soon done! just need decals on IP. Then the fuselage can be completed. Cheers H

Ohh I can't wait to see what treatment you give it James!

Just to prove we're not dead, just merely snowed the heck in... All the parts for the "other" gear bay laid out and cleaned up. Since I have new black paint we should see some progress soon-ish!

Planning to build the Trumpy A-6A in 32nd, with AOA decals for the movie Flight of the Intruder. I plan to fictionalize the fictionalized A-6E's used in the movie by Using the proper painting of the A with proper stencils, and then use the AOA decals for the movie airplane with the AOA A-6A stencils. I MAY try to cut masks for the fictional "USS Shiloh" from the book. I read the book to shreds when I was young, and I still enjoy both it and the sequel. So here's to Jake Grafton and Tiger Cole, Keep the faith shipmate! UNfondled plastic... highly unusual in my stash! and I've had the kit since before the "rona" 'Stickers' Thanks!

Ha! Thanks for the idea, I have a couple Takom kits in the stash!

I'll try to make a dent this year. I finally got my 4th stripe back (for the 5th time, should learn not to switch companies...) so the pressure is off somewhat, now I just need to get off nightshift!

Man that 3 color navy camo shore looks fine though! Nothing you can't deal with I'm sure!

I want to fly one once.... 8 throttles. awesome!
