Scott Nice decision for some serious bench time

A heart warning Thanks You to all my forum friends for your well wishes. as they surely made my day. Sunday took me completely by surprise and today I followed up with a specialist. I'm on the right medication and hopefully all will be well. Between my wife and I, it's always something new medically to deal with and so far, we have been very fortunate to have come through it all. This is what our forum really is about: friendship, caring and being here for each other. .

Joining Scott and Chris in the medical department and spent a good portion of Sunday in the ER after not feeling well for a few days. My right lower leg was hurting and was swollen when I woke up in the morning plus developing a huge red rash on it. After a full round of blood tests and an ultrasound on my legs checking for blood clots, all came out good. Right now, the diagnosis is Cellulitis, which is somewhat painful and is being treated with antibiotics. I'm trying to make an appointment with my dermatologist for today or tomorrow at the latest and if I don't respond to the medication by Wednesday, I'll need to be hospitalized for IV antibiotics. Just seems the older we get; every day is a new challenge.

Chris Nice work on the 109 color issues ... just amazing how much time needs to be devoted to paints, sorting out all the variations and changes that took place. I've stalled a bit on my Sa'ar as there are so many fit issues to deal with and thought I just might start my second planned build while I sorted things out for the GB: The Meng 1/35 IAI AH-64 Saraf - talk about figuring out the colors, as the color callouts are for Meng's new paint line (?) and the color schematics are so hard to follow.

Paul Looking mighty good.

Rob, X 7. Details are amazing and with your talented touch, they all look so real and so hard to tell if it is or isn't. And you're so right, the fire extinguisher is amazing - imagine, getting excited over a small detail part but it just captures the eye with its details.

Chris Super nice work on an oldie (1991) but not really that old. for sure. Always nice to return to simpler kits once in a while, that for their day were state of the art and nicely detailed. But compared to today's offerings, pretty sparce. Still looks a Tornado wearing its pink sand cammo colors.

Incredible work with such super small details. Looking mighty good.

Dave Nice progress and amazing nothing has been knocked off yet - those antennas are just asking to be knocked off 😉

Carl,,Cab dry fit looks mighty good.

Chris Same here and fully agree. I have a wall full of paints because I'm always looking for a specific and when the bottle arrives, it still doesn't look right. These days, I try to go with what I have and if it is close, that's good enough for me.

Mike I'm front row and ready for the journey.

PW Awesome choice and so glad you're underway - going to be a gem. hard to believe how small she is.

Chris I tend to knock myself out these days as well about colors and every manufacture has their own interpretation. For the most part, I'm a huge user and believer in MRP paints and always tend to use their paints and colors. Once in a blue moon I do deviate and use AK, as I feel the color is a better match. I wouldn't put my money on Eduards color callout sheet or a restoration as who really knows. For the most part, if I'm happy with the color and effect, that's the path I go on.

Mark Enjoy the kit.

John Ask me, you already have the hang for 109 🏆

Scott .. brilliant! No question - a build to be proud of and she surely will be the Queen of your collection. 🏆

John Beautiful 109 - fit and finish is perfect. 🏆

John Another awesome 109 for the collection. Some mighty fine work with a perfect finish. 🏆

Scott ... Nice! Now you are set and ready.

Just never saw that before on an Eduard kit. maybe the kit was a re-release from another manufacturer rather then one of their design.

Kev Always something for sure but at least you're in the home stretch and it's going to be a nice present.

Carl Nice progress on the figures and glad you are able to get a replacement arm - excellent customer service.

Carl. I've often wondered myself about dry brush paint and will have to give them a try. Looking forward to your mini-review.

Carl Never knew about the Despise brushes and an interesting approach to keeping them in tip top shape by replacing the brush tip. Despise product line continues to grow with a lot of innovated products.
