John Of course, our 'finished pretty soon' is easily a lot different, as mine is way longer. 😉

Gaz Brilliant build and the vignette and figure: WOW!

John Another outstanding build and some mighty fine weathering. Nice to see your Corsair finishes cover the full spectrum of finishes and weathering. Just a pleasure to follow from start to tinish.

John Precision work as always and thanks for the photos of how you masked the wing walks and stripes. Heading over in a few to check out the final build photos. c

Gaz What a build and weathering easily gave your 190 a well-used but flyable look. Aces on a build so very well done.

John Nice to see you working on a piece of armor again and the Sherman looks fantastic - she has your magic touch for sure. I'm right in your camp when it comes to weathering and looking forward to you 'driving' the Sherman across the line after she is finished.

Rob WOW! Looking so good and I just love the harnesses. Adding the wiring is a huge plus as it not only adds details but the colors add interest on their own.

Peter WOW ... incredible detail sets and surely a must have.

Rob The Tamiya Honda F-1 and Tamiya Mercedes look mighty good and one nice soldering station. Is that a hint of another ship build in the future?

Hi Oliver I haven't used any of the Red Fox Detail Sets yet, as I've been a big user of the Quinta sets. There are a number of differences between the two companies' approach and offerings. For me, one of the biggest differences is Quinta includes seatbelts and harness with their sets and I do like them and have used then on my past few builds. While Red Fox does have a set for the SH-60B, I haven't purchased it as of yet, as I first need to see if it will be needed with the Werner's Wing Detail Sets.

Thanks Gaz, so very much appreciated, Diane is starting to feel much better after from the procedure at the beginning of the week, just takes time.

Thanks Chris so much for your well wishes. PM sent.

Thanks Mike, much appreciated, and Diane is feeling better and better each day. Just takes time.

Thanks Rob, so greatly appreciated. Details look good, once the builder figures out how the assemblies need to be built. I've only been test fitting the interior parts/assemblies and the main issue is seems to be, sloppy fit, lack of accurate locating pins and vague instructions. Right now, the interior is on hold, waiting for the AM to arrive. My wait is due to the detail sets first needing to be molded. I can feel for your frustrations, not knowing how long shipping will be for orders to actually arrive. Trying to hang in there, keep moving forward and now dealing with the two GE T700-GE-401C 1890 engines, whose constructions mirrors the same issues I been dealing with all along. Oh, what fun.

Thanks Phil so much. Diane is recovering nicely and one procedure to go. The KH Seahawk is surely anything but a Tamiya kit and just not very well executed from A to Z. While still waiting for the Werner's Wing AM Resin Detail Sets, I started working on the two GE T700-GE-401C 1890 engines. While they at first look good, they have been a nightmare so far, almost to the point of binning the build. More later in my next update. Thank goodness for the reference photos as I wouldn't otherwise have a chance.

John Progress as always 👍 Masking looks good and saves a lot of time decaling these areas, not to mention they do look better painted.

Thanks GAz, very much appreciated. With my Wife's procedure being very successful, I spent some hours late last night working on the Seahawks engines and OMG, every part so far, needed cleanup and the mold lines removed. KH did manage to again locate sprue gate tabs in some poorly chosen spots, requiring a lot of time and careful work to remove them. Even one sprue gate tab was located right next to a male locating pin requiring a very delicate touch. So far, par for the course on the Seahawk.

Kev DNG is an Adobe Digital negative file. Normally when you want to correct or change/work on a photo in an Adobe program; Photoshop (Camera Raw), Lightroom (my two most used programs) or Elements, the files created by your phone's software need to be changed to a DNG format, so these programs can read them, and thusly the DNG file. When the file is exported to be viewed online or to Image Shack as an example, the file needs to be changed back to a JPG (JPEG) format so it can be viewed or seen. Most cellphones create the image and keep the files as a JPEG but if they are accidently change, you will not be able to upload them as a viewable photograph.

Oliver The weathering is amazing.

John Nice progress on the paint work - flawlessly done.

Gaz Some very convincing weathering; a well-worn 190, with a lot of punishing flight hours.

Rob, BRAVO🏆 Absolutely brilliant. Paint and decal work is simply stunning and I'm wearing dark sunglasses to protect my eyes. 😎

Carl Sign of the times. Makes you wonder if anyone actually knows what is going on.

Awesome figure for sure. Surely wish I had the slightest talent to paint like that.

Thanks John Very much appreciated
