I have to shamelessly admit that I have a soft spot for the old Monogram kits. They weren’t that bad at all considering the age of the forms.

Excellent, congrats !

Amazing museum, thank you for sharing these.

Now, that's pretty sweet! So exciting to follow your progress Jeroen and see all the little surprises along the way. Cheers Martin

What about a little friend?

Looks amazing. Well done!

Sweet! Looking good, however the hand holds decals seems to be reversed left and right side. The painted guidelines should be parallel with panel lines. Motivational pics

It is shocking that the first thing that comes to mind when somebody mentions Vietnam is Huey helicopter. Not beaches, lagoons or temples. I am blaming commies. tunes

Sorry about the confusion. That’s Poppy on the sofa . The cur was at the dog park.

This is such a weird coincidence. We just returned from a walk. And Pip has found a playmate, a black mouth cur. His buddy was twice of his size, but super kind and gentle. Pip gets constantly nipped and humped by another dogs, often smaller. It was a nice change to see them play without anxiety, just being dogs. ,, greetings from up North

I believe the solution will be available shortly in a form of raised rivet sets ( HGW, Quinta, etc.). Overall this kit looks like a gem and the scale opens its potential even more.

I love the unorthodox approach to the surface detail. Thank you for the review James. Cheers Martin

I took the liberty of reposting some of Nikola's images, hopefully it will work.

Exquisite detail.

There's no way to explain loss of a loyal friend, I wish I could take you out for a drink or hike in the Rockies, or both. Martin

Looking forward to this. Cheers Martin

Stopped by at my local dealer. Gonna try the Ammo varnish and Dispiae putty. It’s slightly cheaper than Tamiya, so hopefully it performs as well.

Nicey !

Now that's frightening

Around here, the squirrels feed the local populations of ravens or magpies. Sounds cruel, but that's the result of the close proximity to the wilderness. I mean whatever they are plotting world domination anyway

Acrylic polymer?

Good idea of adjusting the rivet detail and using the Monogram cowling. looking good John. Cheers Martin
