Beautiful job, man!

Very nice, Dale!

I like the look of those exhaust stubs!

Wow! Haven't checked in in a while. Amazed to see the progress.

Very nice work, Harv!

This thing: Used 3/4 of a bottle of Richthofen's Red over the white base coat. Bear in mind I didn't have to paint a lot of areas due to the design. IIRC, the black took a few coats to reach opacity, over the white base coat. This thing: (in 1/48 scale) Which is about the same size as a 1/32 single engined plane, used only 1/3 of a bottle of RLM 76 over both gray primer and RLM 74&75. Not much paint was required due to the similarities of color.

I haven't seen Picard yet. I hope it's better than the three series that followed the original,

I use acrylics and glass cleaner all of the time. And I do have a brass area at the bottom of each cup of my two Iwatas. Never had any problems, tho. Nothing seems to be touching the needlrs. I think they're stainless steel. They do act unhappy if I don't wipe the needle clean after each use.

Be well, mate!

Love they hyper-detailing!

And when your half done with those vortex generators:

The paint lift scares me. Your masking material shouldn't lift paint that often. I think three outta five in that small area would inspire me to pull all of the masks, reprint them, and then strip the uppers, give them a fine sand and break out the lacquer primer.

I've been working on these two kits for a while; Cheers!

Looking great so far! I'm doing the exact same kit. We're even doing the same Gruppe. I'm doing a Gruppenstab machine piloted by Erwin Leykauf. Almost finished.

That's a beautiful work area, Harv! Now, clutter that up with models! Do you keep a bottle of CA de-bonder handy. I've used it fro removing CA from the tiles where I work. The tiles are matte, and the CA shines brightly...lol

Out-fucking standing!!

Steve, I was wondering what machine you were doing all of your work with. This will be great!

Whoa, this looks awesome! And Eddie looks bad-ass in situ!

Steve, This is all very amazing! I've spent quite a few minutes catching up. When the mask cutters started becoming available, I wondered if anyone would attempt to do as you are doing. Thanks to great decal sets, more planes are becoming covered in decals than ever before. I feel like I'm holding my breath waiting for the next update! Gaz

Looks great Ern! Those HGW belts really add to the sparse cockpit.

My wife and I have a policy: Try not to know your neighbor.

I had to look it up Dale, because I imagined you were talking about this: Apologies.... I don't pay much attention to unarmed or many modern aircraft.

Any Fokker after 1918 really doesn't get it for me.

The engine looks great, Harv! Rock on!

Looks nifty... but fuck I'd hate to build it!
