Smitty Nice buy, planning on buying one myself tomorrow, Hoping Quinta will make a interior detail set for it. Back order at both SB and SH. Just have to wait.

My money is still riding on the Corsair being done on Saturday

Jeroen It's a whole new world out there - modeling has changed and is never going back.

Oliver I'm right with martin - spectacular work.

John And the worst is, I have a long way to go for a full recovery - I'm still on a diet of mushy foods and there aren't that many. One heck of a diet. Can't snack even if I wanted to.

Thanks Carl, very much appreciated. My favorite period of aviation is between the wars and the aircraft were never as colorful. How right you are: yellow wings and red stripes and tail - it's at the head of the class. Navy and Army aircraft were kept in pristine condition as the budgets for new appropriations were small and smaller each year.

John Looking so good and take your time, it's delicate work. Shoot for finishing the Corsair up Sunday. 😉

👍

Jeff Some fantastic detail photographs.

CArl Pretty neat. The box is about the same size as the Border Lancaster and comes in a shipping carton as well, just as the Valkyrie. Going to be a great project to follow.

Ernie Quite a story and coupled with the early warning systems of the day, which back then we thought were super sophisticated. Time does march on. I remember back in the mid 60's King Radio invented area navigation where you could electronically move a VOR and the VOR system in the aircraft would track to that imaginary station as it was actually there. We thought that was incredible. Today - old hat. Talk about basic ... an ADF approach - how many pilots even know what an ADF is or how to use it?

John Nice work on the deteriorated and ripped fabric. Love the way the fabric droops into the ripped, rotted openings. She surely is looking mighty neglected.

Every appointment and the bill keeps adding up

Thanks Scott, might just be the first across the line, which amazes me. I know exactly how you feel as any oral surgery and implants are expensive and spending that much money on a back molar makes little sense. I've needed to do a lot of dental work since finishing my chemo , which apparently didn't do my teeth any good. So far, my share of the bill has been over $12,000.

Ernie Paint work looks just awesome - way to go.

Gaz Torpedoes look mighty good and the paint work is very well done. Yup masking small molded on parts with little relief is a tough act for sure and agree completely that these parts should have been molded separately. Of course, more parts, the kit cost would go up but a better model will surely be the result.

Thanks Rob, so very much appreciated. It's been a struggle and I'm working on finishing up the Kingfisher this weekend. I'm still very sore and uncomfortable but starting to feel a little better every day.

Martin Terrific progress on your Mossie - always so many decisions and you always seem to pick the right ones.

Jerry One awesome Phantom - beautiful build

Thanks Gaz Right with you for sure.

Thanks Mike, I was surprised that they came out as well as they did. Just glad I don't have to redo them.

Scott Looking good and holy cow, she sure is using up the paint, hopefully not by the gallon. Can't see the spots in the paint except for the circle around them. Fingers crossed you won't need to repaint

Hubert Much appreciated 😉

Jerry Has to be something wrong on their end. Did you shoot them an email?
