Thanks Mark Crawling along on scribing wing panel lines - oh what fun. Keep 'em comin Peter

I just might have to go back to work to afford all the new kits coming out🙃 Keep 'em comin Peter

Phil Nothing tougher then a NMF, especially on the Mustang. Why not just do an easier build with a cammo finish and you'll be building up your mojo. The key to NMF is the prep: polish, polish and polish and then a super smooth gloss black. Your Panzer cammo is right on the money and if it had wings - perfect. Keep 'em comin Peter

Rob I'm still filling and re-scribing this morning and my weapons of choice are from UMM. What I'm learning the hard way, is that the Tamiya P Scriber, (I think this is the correct name) works well, it's way too easy to make the panel lines too wide and too deep. When I bought my set of UMM scribers it was only two scribers, now it's three. three. I'm quickly going back to them and making less and less goofs but still make a lot. here is the link: http://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?products_id=8752&osCsid=562b4ec1473799b47b283c0c830f15ec Keep 'em comin Peter

Gaz Loads of intricate work on those figures with a mighty delicate hand and changing hats - yikes now that’s detailing to an incredible degree. Looking forward to the next update with more work gone on the figures. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Gaz Holy Smoke, the tracks look perfect and the effect of them resting on the wheels adds a feeling of weight and heft. Right with Kai - can’t wait for the paint. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Rob Enjoying following your progress on a difficult kit to say the least. Knowing me, mine would still be on the SOD❗ I’m what seems to be a lifetime member of the I Hate Scribing Club’ and no matter how hard I try fail miserably at it. On my current two builds, I’m crawling due to the need to replace panel lines and if anything, I’m running out of CCA - Extra Thin filling in my mistakes and then trying again. I have loads of scribers and seem to prefer the set from UMM, Tamiya .2 scriber and their J blade scriber. I use Dyno Tape and templates and the results are frustrating at best. Circles and curved lines; a sharp needle in a holder. Oh do I long for the days when there was no such thing as scribing👌 keep ‘em comin Peter

Mark Absolutely family first and hobbies a distant second. Hoping your wife is continuing to doing well with rehab and every day she will be better and better - just takes time. Your Viggen is coming together mighty good - lots of sanding and filler but no where as much as I thought a limited run kit of this size and complexity would require. Can’t wait to see the Viggen in the paint shop. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Phil Thank sure is odd as cammo is cammo, air brush work is air brush work and yours looks great. Keep 'em comin Peter

Gaz Figures look mighty good with lots of molded on details and sometimes 'winging it' works the best. Keep 'em comin Peter

Phil Holy smokes - looking fantastic. Absolutely let the weathering begin Keep 'em comin Peter

Mark I'm with Kai, the Viggen cammo masking done without the masks is going to need nerves of steel - but if anyone can pull it off, my money is riding on you. Keep 'em comin Peter

Harv Perfect! Keep 'em comin Peter

Carl Mighty nice progress on your B-24. Sure looks as if with the windows in and less MG's you will be 'flying' through this build. Keep 'em comin Peter

John Absolutely stellar work - your Spit is looking fantastic and it's easy to see you're back to feeling 100% now. Keep 'em comin Peter

Martin Nice pics for sure - loads of details. Keep 'em comin Peter

NIck Awesome air brush work. Keep 'em comin Peter

Gaz Terrific work on the turret s the cast features look spot on the money. Only 102 track links - I would be shaking in my boots, knowing all that work is my next part of the build to work through and complete. Keep 'em comin Peter

Gaz Good news and keeping an eye on the wound is the right way to go Keep 'em comin Peter

Mark Right with Carl and I also have the DN Mask set. Of course, I never used masks before - nothing like learning on what seems the most intricate mask set available. An advice and guidance would be so greatly appreciated. Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Harv Making steady progress and onto the wings, which so far have easily proven to be the toughest part of the kit. The large MG cutout don't fit worth a dime and some re-scribing panels lines has been called for. Of course it's my weakest ability in modeling and the one I also dislike the most. Full steam ahead. Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Carl - very much appreciated. No question about it, once you use the Quinta 3D decals, you're hooked for life, they are that good. I've thought about for some time and just can't find one reason why manufacturers use those wing MG inserts that just never fit and on the Mustang, it's an adventure for sure. Keep 'em comin Peter

Sure seems to be true

Rob WOW! I never saw this build before and quickly jumped to the beginning and read through the entire project to the present. My compliments on some superb building and trouble shooting. All simply looks spot on to me and I can appreciate the work that has gone into the build to this point. So glad the Arado is back on the bench and moving forward. Keep 'em comin Peter

Gaz Not good at all and fingers crossed the wound will not become infected. After doing the same as you a few times (not as bad) I bought a set of collects and have all the most common bits I use ready to go. I do keep a second set in the case as a back. My most common wound is from my Tamiya knives scraping and cleaning parts. Just take care and keep a very watchful eye. Nice progress on the tracks and the turret .. added details look so good. I'm assuming you use Mr Surfacer 500 for the texure - looks so good. Keep 'em comin Peter
