Harv Nice start and just take your time, as part clean up isn't the most fun part of a build. Keep 'em comin Peter

Ernie Nice progress on your Buffalo and I can see some color modulation on the ailerons and some on the fuselage and wing panels as well. I'm not a big weathering guy and don't knock yourself out trying to over do it, as less is more. Looking mighty good Keep 'em comin Peter

Carl Nice work on working out a plan to deal with the fit issues and then carried it out perfectly. Keep 'em comin Peter

Mark Neat, clean and meticulous work. Along with both Kai and Carl, only adding 38 rivets must seem like a walk in the park. Keep 'em comin Peter

I'm gathering the same but it's going to a ton of fun and about the same number of builds going on in various forums. I'm willing to bet, Jetmads never expected sales to be like this. I just followed Maru's link to LSP and some pics of the kit: OMG ... looks fantastic. Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Maru for the link. My kit is ordered along with a set of DN Masks. Keep 'em comin Peter

Bill Happy Birthday - even if I'm a day late Keep 'em comin Peter

Carl Mr Bond would surely be happy as the two kits underway on your bench Keep 'em comin Peter

Ordered the DN mask set and also the HPH Two Pack Resin Epoxy (thanks Hubert). I purchased two sets of the resin epoxy as I'm hoping to buy the Ouregon, Phantom and the B-47( 1/48 scale which has me doing cartwheels) when they become available. Looks like 1/32 scale is exploding and then there are the SB Phantoms - there goes my modeling money for a long while. Keep 'em comin Peter

Holy Smokes - outstanding work and meticulously done. Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Kai You're so right, as I worked through applying the decals to all the missiles in a production style. First I decaled the four Sparrows applying the same number decal to each Sparrow, then the next decal to all four and so on. Then onto the Sidewinders, where I repeated the same process. Lastly the drop tank which seemed way too easy. I'm not planning on doing an update when the semi gloss is applied as except for the toned down glossy finish, nothing to see and it does take me a while to set up, do the photography and then the post work. About two updates ago, I decided to 'Focus Stack' a lot of the images in Photoshop, so the model will be sharp front to back which isn't possible at apertures of F22 or smaller due to diffraction (just a matter of physics) . Yes, photography is a passion of mine. I'm looking at the next up date to include most of the finishing detail work adding the gear, missiles and all the other small parts I left off until the end, plus some of the hand painting that needs to still be done. Keep 'em comin Peter

Carl I thought the same and now that I have my order number, can’t see any other scheme to do. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Thanks Hubert Peter

Smitty Nice work on the front office. Keep 'em comin Peter

Carl Looking forward to your conversion build and I'll be following all the way. Keep 'em comin Peter

Mark Nice choice for sure and this proves your a machine with the kit have underway now. Keep 'em comin Peter

Harv I'll be following all the way Keep 'em comin Peter

Smitty I'm willing to bet you are all smiles and so glad you waited. Keep 'em comin Peter

Carl Sometimes half the fun is finding the kit. How many do you have in the stash now? Keep 'em comin Peter

Mark Nice find for sure, as they are about $220 US. Enjoy Keep 'em comin Peter

Harv Can't wait for you to get going and start a build thread if Omaha is your goal and time frame. Keep 'em comin Peter

Harv I was just on HPH's site and can't find the epoxy. I'll send them an email and maybe I'll get luck. Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Hubert - going to place an order. Peter

Phil Tough question for sure - how about the Tamiya P-38 and keep refining your weathering techniques? You already just finished the tougher of the two P-38's. Keep 'em comin Peter

Mark WOW, the figures are looking mighty good and we're in for a treat: a diorama/vignette! Keep 'em comin Peter
