A bit of a bench upgrade for me. I got a new, rolling chair. and a small wheeled cabinet which will perform a couple tasks... for instance, the capacious bottom drawer will become my sprue organizer once I decide on how to fit separators innit.
I had been using a kitchen chair and a short stool to hold the model box.

No need to feel pressure, monsieur. I'm just another guy on a continent far, far away.

Guys, I'm looking into adding a few features, one of which should make Harv incredibly happy. MORE LIKES! Harv has run us completely out of Likes on several occasions, so we will be increasing the Like Tank from 22,500 per day to over 450,000!
And more emojis or emoticons, or whatever they call them, along with different "Like" options. No biggie, but little things like that go a long ways to making it "fun" for others.
Yay! More likes.
Oh... and can we have the middle finger salute and pile o' poop emoji, please. Sometimes the heart, trophy, confused, and sad emojis just don;t get it.

Nice job on the camo Gaz. That could be the warm-up for a C.202 Folgore if you want to get adventurous!
Thanks mate. Have done... 1n 1/48:
And the paints were much worse.

Camo is looking bueno Gaz, I'm always afraid of these freehand paintjobs. I may have to train that with a soon to start project.
Cheers Rob
Thank you. When I freehand I try to remember I'm only 54MM tall with a 2-4 pound weight in my hand. I'm not always successful.

Thanks mate. I'd love to have steady hands. I really feel like I'm squeezed with every stroke, trying to get the opacity and pattern in a very limited time. Now... I have to distress the green a bit. That is... the areas I can reach without endangering raised detail.

These racks look great, can't wait to see the III with camo and Schürzen.
Cheers Rob
Your wish is my command effendi.
Of course, there is a lot of weathering to do before the Schurzen are on the kit permanently. I annealed and sanded the schurzen, and they are consequently very soft.
I used SMS lacquer for the green. It took me quite a while to get past spitting and tip dry. I reckon it has to be thinned 50/50 with Mr. Levelling thinner to get to a point where you can actually do something with it. Still, it seems to cover better than MRP.
Thank you for looking!

Call it a structural affect of age, then.

A fellow bad back sufferer. Nuff' said. I sometimes secure an ice pack to my lower back when working on models.

Two builds going but not much progress in either.... Due to the schurzen, pre painting and pre camo are a must... and I wanted to make sure I got the backs of the side hatches done... before I glue them to the turret in an open position.
The schurzen brackets are only dry fitted.
And I went a bit down the rabbit hole on the front end... There were supposed to be two runs of kit tracks across the front. Inspired by a pic in my collection of a Totenkopf IIIM, I used some small pieces of aluminum to make track brackets and added a third run. None of the runs is attached, but dry fitted while the CA solidifies.
Anyway... thanks for looking!

Wow.... been a while since I did an update.
And there was a spare part that reminded me of the cover of the centrally mounted cannon on the 109...but much bigger... so I used that to simulate the gun cover of the forward battery. I've since closed and up the fuselage and started up the motors... but no paint to see, yet... so no photo.
sometimes I wonder how I complete anything....
Thanks for looking!

I bought some of those damn things, but can;t remember what I bought them for. And I still can;t remember what even inspired me to buy them.

Your Tomcat is looking great! Makes me wish that modern jets actually did something for me. I even struggled through my late MiG-25 build.

Harv,
there are some who glue the upper wings to the fuselage first. To me that seems like a good way to keep your wingtips from lining up correctly. I always glue the wings together before attaching to the fuselage.

I don;t know if there's enough space between the open cockpit and propeller arc to fit a proper MG, Ern. Might have to give up on this one.... not a warplane at all.
The 30's is to aircraft aesthetics as is the late 70's to early 80's for cars.
