I was gonna say that you could use it for 'taking care' of your backlog of partially comple models... but then I deleted that part of my last post.

Looks good. So small! We call those roach clips in America.

Wow, Chris, she's a beauty! Great job on that finish and weathering.

Ernie, great progress this week. You gotta have some bombs, man! It's a bomber after all. I feel the same way about cockpit details that you do about bombs. Not that I would enjoy loading up an A-10 Warthog.

Impressive weathering Sasha.

Ooh, very cool dio!

To make my build slightly faster, I'm thinking about a submerged submarine. After the ZM 109... I need to slip away from the hyper-detailed.

Thank you, Ernie. I'm really glad you like it. Please feel free to put it on the FB page/

Nice work on that office, John. Nice to see a jug up.

Welcome to the forums! Looks like it;s be huge.

Car wash... yeah...

Thank you, Gents! Love the 'salute', John.

Thank you, Chris. I'll probably sit on it for a while before I do anything. My LHS doesn;t seem to have any display space for stuff that isn't for sale.

Thank you, Rob! I need to find other kinds of 'readiness' furniture used by the flyboys.

Thanks Rog!

The same kind of thing was true with the ZM 109 and the WNW Fokker D.VII. If you let things dry, and then glue panels on the next session, or whatever you can find that tiny misalignments that may have been caused by you or not, can totally ruin the picture. Happened when I built my first WNW D.VII. I never finished that kit, it was ruined because everything depends on perfection to get the super-fragile frame in all of the right places. To avoid the mishap, I slapped everything together quickly and did all of the marrying-up while everything was still soft and malleable on the second one. Still need to get one of those P-40's. But gonna have to wait until March of next year... Christmas, wife's birthday, and Anniversary gotta be taken care of, first.

Looks great, Peter. I always wondered what was going on under that big fairing below the engine. Did you find the area immediately behind the cowling to be a messy area? It's difficult for me to tell what's going on there with the grey and white right at the seamline. Those wing guns are gonna be a pain to work around.

Thanks for the report, Ernie.

Thank you, Kevin! Thank you, Harv! Every time I made a mistake and had to go back and repair the paintwork almost blew the top of my head off. Thank you, Peter. I am finding that even small dios such as this are much more rewarding than a stand-alone aircraft. Thank you, Hubert. I too am finding that added details like rivets make for a much finer model.

Thank you very much! I am honored that you feel honored to be the first.

Thank you for all of your support, fellas. It's finished. You can see the results here:

A Quick barrage of photos... Thank you for looking!

Thank you Rob! And no... not pink. That would be unmannlich! Ok... I admit it... I made that word up. Thank you, Peter. I appreciate it. I'm curious... did you ever make a serious go at them. Because your detail painting is terrific. I can;t imagine you not being able. Thank you Chris. Very kind of you to say. I just see so many better figures on facebook than mine... that I feel I can't measure up. BTW... I don't do dieting very well.

That looks great, Paul. Really... it's the only Sherman that gives the 'wow' factor. Now... this is a special request... please find some 1/35 scale IDF tank maidens to put on it. Israeli girls are so hot!

Boffo paint stencilling, Rob! I taped around each of my 1 man army masks for rear of the slightest mistake... so much better than decals.
