Carl Just catching up and amazing progress on your dual F4 builds. Nice work on the front offices and your decaling procedure is something I am absolutely going to try. Also quite impressed with how ZM tackled the cockpits, as there are so many differences included plus the slats and reinforcing belly straps.

Dave Awesome progress and looking mighty good. Right with Carl on his exhaust painting comments, as the variations look so good. With the paint work finished, nice to see you're onto the decals. Are you planning on adding all the stencil Phantoms are famous for wearing? Chris went all out on his F4 with them and on my F-14, I also spent loads of time adding all the supplied stencils. They just look great and, in my book, well worth the loads of time they will require.

John I'm front and center and following all the way.

HI Guys Just thought it would be best to thank all my friends for a wonderful welcome home and nice to be back at the bench again. Earlier today Diane and I had a consultation with a Cardiac Specialist who reviewed in detail the procedure that Diane will be going through in a few months' time. We know what to expect and the outlook looks good. 🤞

Thanks Rob, so greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I'm back to the stage I can sit and work, relax and leave the medical issues behind for a few hours at a time. Diane and I have been through a lot and we're eager to move forward and tackle the obstacles ahead.

Gus Just back and picking up following your progress. Looking mighty good.

Just back myself and what an awesome project. Will be following with interest.

John I'm just blown away and I never thought anything like this was possible, but you proved me wrong. Looking so good, just brilliant work.

I'm back and lost already 🙃

Seems to my old eyes, each P-40 has the stripes leaning in the opposite direction.

Thanks Dennis, I sure hope so.

Thanks John, looking forward to building and posting again. Just thought it was time to try and sit at the bench and work again. Besides doing pretty much nothing, it's not only frustrating but depressing as well.

Holy smoke, didn't think I was absent that long and look at all those sci fi kits ... pretty amazing.

It's been a good, long while and I'm hoping to be able to sit at the bench again, spend time on the forum with all my friends and build The Kotari Spitfire Mk Va which arrived a while back. Of course, I've been a bit puzzled as to the fact Qunita hasn't released a cockpit set and for the first time in a very long time, I'll be building a kit without one.

Maru Thank you for the post and asking how Diane and I are doing. We're hanging in there and I just posted a short update as to the past few months. I'm going to try and work at the bench gain and see how that goes. At least thinking positive helps so much.
