Carl Amazing - a whole new world - I'm mighty jealous as time and technology has pretty much past my generation by.

I'm in with two projects: First on the bench: the new SH 1/48 SMB@ IAI Sa'ar, 1970's four color cammo scheme Second build: Kinetic 1/48 IAI Nesher - four color cammo scheme Couldn't wait to start and about 2;30 AM, I finally opened the Sa'ar kit and dove in and step one is a good soak in warm water and Dawn over night (or what was left of it) to remove the mold release agent.

Thank You Mike for the very kind comments on my Spitfire build. I think she crossed the finish line in early August and is waiting for me to add the last two shelves to my glass display cabinet for a home on the 32nd scale Spitfire shelf. After that, the display case will be full, as I have a good eight models in plastic containers waiting also for a permanent home. Over the years painting has become my favorite part of any build as it has always been to me the most creative part of a project.

Thanks Chris, so very much appreciate your kind comments on my Spit. Just a pleasure to build and if I remember correctly, only AM was a Quinta Cockpit Set, Barracuda resin wheels to replace the kit rubber tires and Eaglecal decals which gave me fits. I used mostly the kit decals with no issues at all. Just love those Tamiya Spitfires.

PW, thank you for the compliments on my air brush and paint work - it's my favorite part of any build.

Chris Never thought of that but I guess the official 9/1/24 is where Martin lives: Toronto, Canada.⏱️

All we need now is for Martin to give the official go!

PW I'm just waiting for the official start: bench is cleaned, ready and I'm ready to run,

Does the Sandbox GB start tomorrow or am I jumping the gun?

PW, very much appreciated. Just nothing like a Tamiya kit for pure fun and enjoyment.

Rob Completely agree and right with Chris. I was a good forum friend with Karim on the LSP forum many years ago and he is an incredible modeler.

Chris Fantastic idea.

Mark How cool.

Dave Fantastic Front Office - absolutely gorgeous work.

Mike Fingers crossed and she is a beauty. Going to be awesome finish today as the Big Sikorsky crosses the line.

Gus, thanks for the info and good to know he is ok.

Thanks Mike, yup, the desert scheme it is.

Thanks Chris, a perfect pair for the GB.

Rob Good to know you will be taking a vacation in Berlin which is perfect. I've followed a number of MFH builds and on a number of Ferrari if I remember correctly and there were a number of body fit issues, especially with the doors and bonnet. My money is riding on you that you will work the parts to a perfect fit.🏆

Mike Absolutely - for my two cents, those were the most colorful days in American and world aviation.

Mike WOW - absolutely a stunner. What a build.

Just arrived as the kit was just released this week and now I have my builds for the Sandbox GB Eduard PE Set - two frets in thew set

Rob Glad you're getting out in the fresh air and most important of all, 'getting your head free'. Your progress on the Cobra is amazing and as Carl said, your work actually looks like a restoration - incredible work. I guess even MFH kits aren't perfect and after reworking those few parts, brilliant progress. Thoroughly enjoying the journey. 🏆

Gus Nice progress on the excavator arm - looking good.

Carl Nice progress - chassis is looking mighty good.
