Carl Absolutely amazing and going to be an epic build. Looking at the box and packaging, it surely seems to equal the Border Lancaster in size and especially care. I've often thought of a GB, based around the following guideline: The kit comes in a very large box with lots of sprues and parts, will occupy a lot of space when finished and is going to take time to build. Of course, I had in mine aircraft kits such as the Border and HM Lancasters, large size ships, large size armor and of course large size cars. The kit/model has to be BIG. Not sure how many of the guys would be interested in such a GB but who knows. Just food for thought as I keep getting nearer and nearer to building the Lancaster.

Kriss Nice progress with the primer and white fuselage stripe. And so true about the: "Chief"

Dave Very nice progress on the Big Corsair. Absolutely, dislay her at the Nats and please take a few photographs the Corsair on the dislay table.

John Front office is looking mighty busy and the details do the job so very nicely. Pretty easy to have missed the step and thanks for pointing it out, as I'm sure it will save a lot of corrections for cavalier builds down the road.

Oliver Looking mighty good

Carl Enjoy the Apache and of course, looking forward to a build thread not to far down the road.

Some mighty nice progress

Rob Completely agree and right with Carl but I know I'm going to give them a try either on the Mustang or my next build.

John Nice start on the P-51 Interior - good call on the light Gray for the interior color.

I know and I've had an eye on the 1 Man Army Stencil Masks - a lot can be universally applied.

John Looks terrific to me.

Dave Looking mighty good and nice to see you haven't missed any of the small details that really add up. Are you using the kit decals since you are going with the box art color scheme?

Oliver Awesome progress and you're in the paint shop now - brilliant work and amazing progress.

Another terrific build in the books. Just over a to the completed build forum and left a comment, 🏆

John Another awesome P-39 and you're so right the scheme and markings represent how most P-39's looked in that area of operations. So very well done.

Kev Thanks for the detailed photographs and procedures. The office does look mighty good and hard to believe SH never realized the issue having the window rank in the wrong spot would cause. I have the Quinta set for the Tempest II, which I'm planning to build and nearly the same kit, sometime this year and of course it does solve the seatbelt issue. Right with you on having a fit issue and when figuring out why, realized a part was missed.

Nice start Mark on a unique kit and build. Will be following all the way.

Bill Looking mighty good. Nice way of sorting out the wing fillet and no question, you found the best approach. Surely wish in the AM & PEIP instructions, they would comment of the need to sand or file for a better fit - just saves time and a bit of frustration down the road.

Carl Nice progress on the Big Cat. It's amazing how we forget Tamiya fit wasn't always 'nearly perfect' as they improved their science and technology over the years, always raising the bar. Even their P-51D I'm building presently, which is a good few decades newer then the F-14, is nowhere in the ballpark of their incredible kits being designed and produced today.

John Of course I did 😉

John I'm front and center and will be following all the way. I'm torn between the schemes, ut to be different, I leaning towards the USAF cammo.

Kev Just being there and enjoying Mother Nature. is a reward unto itself.

Bill Looking good and glad you found the fix and everything is now as it should be.

Right with Paul This year I build the old 1970's vintage KIngfisher and it was a lot of fun and looks great in the display case.

Scott, looking good and nothing like learning as you go. My money is riding on you pulling it off.
