  1. I like it! ONe up on the Germans and their gray-something interiors. I didn't know there were degrees of color-blinded-ness. I thought you either were, or weren't. Gaz

  3. You never know, it might look cool with sleek engine nacelles and straight wings. Gaz
  4. Hi Everyone, A little more work trying to get to the painting stage. Not far away now. The pilot now has a respectable reflector sight. The tailwheel needed a leather boot to protect the oleo, I made one from milliput. The aileron balances are curiously shaped. But they do get the kit onto my jig, finally. Once I integrate the clear pieces with sandpaper, I can prime her. Thanks for looking! Gaz
  5. Love to watch you do this internal detail stuff. Hopefully some day I can try it too.
  6. Love the cracking on the seat!
  7. Great advice, Peter! But I love my foil. Watching what Airscale 32 is doing with thicker aluminum is making me consider other real-metal avenues. Gaz
  8. Looks great! Bummer to hear it's got flaws.
  9. INterior looks brilliant. I have the Mcdowell book, too. But I didn't even open it when I did my Tamiya Kursk Panther... I wanted that one OOB. GAz
  10. Looks great! Looking forward to your bungee structure. Last time I made bungees, I did it with silk thread.
  11. This one, Buddy #5556: Image for discussion only.
  12. Build log to follow? Gaz
  13. 0811, Leatherneck!
  14. Nice work on a very attractive tank.
  15. Thanks for the links to your tutorials! Love your amazing work! Gaz
  16. I'm glad you test fitted before you modified. Otherwise you'd have needed two modifications. NIce job! I've got the smaller scale Dacklebaucbh which I'm gonna convert to a D2...Really hate the D-bauch idea. I wonder how similar the construction of mine will be.\ Gaz
  17. I wasn't there... But I would guess something hit the rudder hard enough to collapse the inner structure but without tearing it, leaving the canvas to sag. Cheers! Gaz
  18. Foiling is easier in some respects. Where it gets hard is when you think about masking. Because foil is happy to lift when you don't want it to, but more stubborn than an angry camel when you want to remove it. I've been considering painting whatever need to be painted on, and then foiling around it, then trimming. But the paint has to be sturdy enough to take some abuse as the excess foil glue is removed with isopropyl and the aluminum polish that is removed with acetone. And then there is the question of my ability to trim cleanly. See... easy! Gaz
  19. Thanks Rob. the fact that I have the barrels stems from an ordering error on my part. I thought I was ordering three sets of 1/48 parts. Since my Trumpeter 109 build went to hell, I have a spare set. So...why not use em'? Gaz
  20. I hate the stuff, yet ate a half sandwich of it at my citizenship ceremony. While I was on the point of hurling up my innards, my Australian family was enjoying the show. But I didn't have to eat it. Gaz
  21. You sure we're not cousins? My mother grew up in Saarbrucken, I was born in Landstuhl, and I have relatives that live in the middle of Spiesen-Elversburg. Family name Schumann. Gaz
