Scott Yes, I received I believe two notices - one was my order was ready to ship and one saying it shipped with tracking: UPS. The package needs to be signed for.

Dave Nice work on the engine interior of the 108 - the brake additions are a nice touch as well.

Rog Hang in there, when it's all down and you are settled into your new home - all will be forgotten and the enjoyment of your custom built home will greatly outweigh any and all of the obstacles along the way. BTW, when we did our home renovation last year, all the incandescent high hat ceiling lights were changed to LED Daylights fixtures with rheostats sliding for brightness control. We just love them. Not for me to say but the LEDs are a must and I'm sure you can come to an agreement with the builder. come to

Chris I rarely have to sign for deliveries but had to for the Tamiya Spit. Hang in there, I'm sure your Spit will show up today It's also important to use the Q Tip across the panel line and not rub along PL, as that way, the Q tip tends to dig into the Mr Surfacer and remove too much. I don't soak the Q Tiop either, just keep it damp.

Gus Nice progress on the Big Cat's front wheel bay ... looking mighty good.

Scott Amazing progress and so glad after using the table saw, you still have all ten fingers. The lighting looks awesome for sure.

Chris Just take your time, Mr Surfacer just needs a few extra coats but no sanding required. 😉 My Tamiya Spit just arrived a little while ago. Tamiya most have sold a million of them.

Tamiya $99 sale Spitfire arrive tonight.

Just finished building it a few months back - Typical Tamiya awesmeness. e

Bill Thanks so much for all the closeup photographs on using the pipe cleaners - results look very good and just a bit of cleanup need where they tend to lift. Red and white rudder stripes are now perfect 👍

Nice to see a well organized bench with a build underway .. congrats

Oliver, you are simply amazing❗

Must be earning from John on including 'speed' into a build flawlessly.

Just seems these days that the US market is now nearly last to receive most of the new kits 🙁

Gaz OMG - awesome doesn't come close.

Carl What can I say - the decal work is brilliant and blows away any of the stenciling decal work I've done in the past. Like Rob, it makes my F4's look like a piece of cake.

Chris Cammo work looks awesome and your painting skills are top of the line.

Chris Nice progress on those offending - panel lines? Mr Surfacer always needs a number of applications after the extra is removed no matter which method, as it does shrink when drying. The real value of the Q-tip method is you can remove the Mr Surfacer and never loses a single rivet or bit of detail. For the tail gap, I might have used some epoxy or Milliput, as it was pretty nasty and will still help fill in those nasty gaps. You're making nice progress and almost there. 👍

Rob WOW, your progress is amazing and your skills with PE is extraordinary. Your idea for the diorama sounds perfect and the way to go - no doubt the' How To's' are gather idea after idea as you consider all the possibilities and choices.

John Awesome build and the finish is meticulous and perfect. I find it amazing how you create the decals on your pc (way beyond my abilities) and the high level you continue to work, at the pace you do. Best of all is the fixes you shared with us regarding the major issue of the Revell kit. Beautifully done .

John Amazing work as always and heading over to see your finished Mustang.

Mark Nice progress and like your choice of markings. Seabelts work for me!

Chris I use mt Surfacer all the time. Leave the sanding sticks on the work bench. Pull out a jar of Mr Color Self Leveling Thinners (No other thinner works without meshing up the plastic or resin) and with a damp Q Tip, wipe across the panel lines. It will dissolve and remove the Mr Surfacer. Then apply another coat. Wait a few hours and repeat. Each time, you will be filling in and leveling. There is no need to sand Mr Surfacer. Llast coat, let dry a good 24 hrs and then the Q Tip act again - works perfectly and never removes any detail. Maybe wear a mask for the smell and fumes but no dust or sanding marks at all.

Chris Fingers crossed ... Mr Surfacer always does the trick

Thanks Kev, much appreciated. Just love the time period between the wars - so colorful and classic.
