I'm sure the B-21, as with the F-35 will also be controlling a large number of drones. The world is surely changing

Carl Now that's one fantastic list of possibilities

I'm in 🎅 Looking forward to this year's Christmas Raffle I'm in with a 1/32 Italeri Mirage IIIc. If the winner is overseas, most likely I will substitute a $90 Gift card as shipping is insane these days.

Back to the latest and most likely the greatest: B-21. I was also struct by the fact that the B2 is around 30 years old .... where did those years go. The legacy of John Northrup lives and is with us.

Ernie Super progress and looking mighty good. You're whipping the Old Girl into shape for sure. I'm also quite impressed with the PE exterior details that fit and look as they belong.

John Another awesome build, capped off with your signature finish.

John You out did yourself on the Twogar for sure - both in speed and what a finish ... absolutely a gem and perfect paint work.

How true and I am in a secured, secret hiding place - one unopened bottle.

Some Model Master enamels is the group - nice going

Most likely I'll be going with the Revell. Momogram 1/48 Kingfisher.

Fran Just one of those kits that in my opinion are way over engineered with way too many never to be seen detail parts. Just my feelings as I work my way through the kit.

Carl Still are amazing kits and absolutely so well worth the cost.

Chris Terrific progress on the Swallow. Nice touches with the air brush work on the exhaust - has just the right look and a great tip on using tape to keep track of the antenna wires, especially at my age, seeing those details is getting harder and harder. IP does look good.

Kriss Terrific build, awesome paint work and finish

Beautiful finish work and a terrific touch with the light weathering.

Carl OMG, has to be close to a record for the number of sprues and parts. Terrific work on the pre-shading and I'm taking notes on tiring it out in places on the P-40.

Thanks Rob. much appreciated There is a lot of quality with the kit but the negatives and 'non helpful' orientation drawings in the instructions, have greatly demised the value of the kit in my eyes. I can see digging into a limited run kit like Ernie's Helldiver and knowing you will be facing a lot of corrective work but for a kit costing what the P-40 did, I would have expected more. Great intensions and in my view, just over engineered and all those hidden details, just don't understand why.

Thanks Gaz, getting there a little bit at a time. There are times the mojo is missing and I don't want to get anywhere near burnt out, so I just walk away for a few days until the juices return.

Phil Exactly. Just can't understand why so many manufacturers waste resources on hidden details that will never be seen and have a habit of causing all sorts of fit issues as well. I'm still working and fixing a few goofs on the wing and then looking at all the plumbing GWH's wants you to add to the underside of the airplane - not going to add any at all, as not a bit of it will be seen. talk about ridiculous and hidden details.

Gaz Looking so good. Nice work on scratching out a new DF Loop Antenna - looks really good. What a brilliant idea for using Bob Buckles as hooks to attach the antenna wire wires - might just try it on the P-40. BTW, the aerodynamic wooden fairing/antenna on the left front wing, modeling wise looks so good but in the flesh, it looks like an easy accident waiting to happen. Takeoff and landing with the stick a bit too far forward or a bit of a bounce you just might hit the ground with it and ground loop the 109 or even worse. They had a bad enough reputation for takeoff and landing accidents with the gear being so tightly close together.

John Awesome paint work as always - looking so good.

Ernie Looking so good and the level of work you are taking the kit & parts to is off the chart and looking so good. Glad you're back to whipping the "Beast" into shape.

Mark Nice choice for your new build and I'll be following all the way. Lot's more to building big rigs then I ever thought - loads of resin and PE - Holy Smokes, going to be fun for sure

Fran Looking forward to your/review. The kit has a load of promnse and should be a huge seller.

Ernie Nice to see you and the Big Helldiver together again at the bench and making progress.
