Thanks Kai Loads of fun without any stress or fuss. A few months ago I couldn’t fathom a 1/72nd build with the way my hands were. I’m all smiles Keep ‘em comin Peter

Thanks Kev Nope, no Quinta Set but Imdo love them and already bought four of then for future builds. Yup, Was on your Yak 3 build this morning and will be following with great interest Keep ‘em comin Peter

Thanks Phil Nice scale for a relaxing, easy build with no fuss Keep ‘em comin Peter

Thanks Gaz Nice when a build/kit brings back fond memories Keep ‘em coming Peter

Harv Much appreciated. Just taking my time and a magnifying lamp is all that is needed. Being able to work in 72nd scale again puts a smile on my face as my modeling therapy for my hands has paid off in big dividends Keep ‘em comin Peter

Thanks Martin Great pics Keep ‘em comin Peter

Phil You’re underway and some nice progress. Not knowing much about armor I was wondering the same as Kai. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Tom Great save and allowing enough time to regroup the troops is the best way to salvage projects that need more TLC. she sure is a BIG beauty Keep ‘em comin Pete4

Beautiful work Keep ‘em comin Peter

Kev Looking forward to following your progress. I’m becoming addicted to Quinta Studio Cockpit sets and other 3D cockpit detail sets as well - they are amazing. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Tim I’m speechless .... your work is simply amazing and a joy to follow. Keep 'em, comin Peter

Gaz Very much appreciate your tips and techniques. No seams and filling ... perfect. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Thanks Rob Much appreciated. Going at my own pace and enjoying the scenery along the journey. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Gaz Always nice to be able to fall back on a kit in progress when we get trapped into waiting for AM parts to show up. And of course, right with you on how I feel about a lot of AM - costly and always a on line hunt takes place trying to find everything which never seems to work out as planned. Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Hubert I'm right with you. With all the access panels closed and leaving out the interior details/parts in those areas, the fit issues shouldn't be as bad and I'll be finding out for sure in the next few days. Just need to tackle the nose assembly/panels and then I should hopefully be able to close up the fuselage. I'm not a fan of leaving all the access panels open and off, which for me kills the look and feel of the model, not to mention all the fit issues they cause. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kai Thanks for the heads up on the AK Black Super Glue as it absolutely solves the problem of knowing what gaps where actually filled with CCA. The Mirage is looking so good and can't wait to see her as she rolls through the paint shop. Keep 'em comin Peter

GAz Nice fix and after reading Kai's post, I took another look and she is big. Weather looks just right and so very well done Keep 'em comin Peter

I've owned more then a few model/air brush compressors over the years and most lasted about 5 years or so. My last compressor before purchasing the Iwata setup, failed with a small air leak/crack in the air tank and as soon as I discovered it, in the trash it went. I try to clean the compressor air tank our once a year which flushes out the accumulated rusty water. Keep 'em comin Peter

Awesome paint scheme for sure Keep 'em comin Peter

Gaz Did you ever think you would spend this much time, energy and money purchasing AM for a build? How the hobby has changed. So what is going to be your fill in project until the 109 AM arrives? Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Kai Just puts the pressure on more working on a collectors item. All my weathering is nothing more then a light wash and then careful dry brushing. I'm going to try some filters and light bleaching on the exterior but nothing major. Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Gaz Never ever would have thought a KH kit would become a collectors item but it just might Keep 'em comin Peter
