Ernie Enjoy and the perfect purchase.🎅

Pau Nice work on the T55 ... always enjoy seeing arm or both weathered and as they would be seen in a museum.

Gaz As always, some mighty spectacular foiling - looking simply stellar

Scott Well said .. safety and awareness always come first

Kev Thanks for posting the vid - just awesome.

Ernie Following with great interest and watching your magic take place.

Gaz As they say, any team can win on any given Sunday ... sometimes it's just the way the ball bounces that decided a game, or just that one play.

Rob I just can't imagine what you have done that was so bad as to have the modeling gods bestow this kit on you! Nice progress on removing all the offending parts and fingers crossed the parts being replaced with PE, the PE fits like a glove. 🤞

Tim, welcome to the forum. WOW, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Will be following all the way, as I've logged more hours in Skyhawks then any other aircraft. Even took my commercial check ride in one. Back when I was flying 172's they were all four cylinder engines, not like the smooth sixes of today. For me, your build is going to be a trip down memory lane. Very nice work on the rear seat - looking mighty good.

Dave Welcome aboard and what an interesting build thread for a kickoff. Will be following.

John Awesome ... I'll be waiting for her to cross the finish line by this weekend at the latest. Don't you just love pressure?

May he Fly West .. RIP.

Made perfect sense back then but when we look back, yup, we mutter to ourselves: How did we really ever survive?

On a business trip years a go, to Pheonix, we drove out to the museum - what an experience and even in the winter, it was blazingly hot! That same night we went to a "Dude Ranch" for dinner and a show by bus and were told to bring a jacket as it would be cold. The advice came when it was close to a 100F outside that afternoon. That night in the mountains, it was close to freezing and we spent a lot of time in the bus - like we really thought it would be cold!

Sasha Awesome work on the front office - looks so good and your style of weathering and detail painting is simply exceptional.

Rob & Gaz When I'm not pulling for any of the three NY Teams (give me a break when it comes to the Jets), I go all out for the Chiefs. As a New Yorker, nothing good or nice ever to say about the Eagles. Of course, the situation with Purdy if the Niners win the Super Bowl would be the story of the year and a great movie as well. Rob, quite a history with your playing sports way in your younger years and baseball - semi pro? I was a baseball guy in my teen years and after that, just a fan, as my talents were nothing like yours. I was terrific at the plate and just an average fielder.

Carl It's always rewarding to learn more about other cultures, their traditions and celebrations.

Rob Thanks for sharing the photographs and bio with us. Some mighty impressive builds and always enjoy seeing the display cabinet photos.

Scott Some mighty nice progress and following your build is truly a step back in time.

Thanks Rob

John Nice work on the interior and the IP looks just fine.

Thanks Carl for the update - never knew about the Chinese New Year celebration lasting that long.

Sure hope it is earlier then that but when it is, it is. Thank you for the update.

Any news as to when the Spit will be released? patiently waiting - pure fantasy.

Rob Let me guess .. you're a Cowboys fan. I'm Big Blue fan, the Giants since I was a little boy and they got destroyed by the Eagles. My other NY Team, The Bills also lost and now I have no idea who to pull for🏈
