    Anyone got info on the A-20J/K release date? I’m not seeing any pre-orders or “coming soon” on any of the usual vendors sites.

    I swear John must have kidnapped a few of Santa’s elves to build for him while he sleeps.

    Nope…nope….nope! I’d lose what’s left of my mind working on that tiny of parts.

    Since you asked for others to post, I’ll do it here instead of starting a new thread. I managed to knock out 8 this year. Thought it was going to be 9 or 10, but the wife had too much time off in December. Seems her time off goals don’t match mine. 😱. Imagine that! We did the Wet build. I had three in that one project. After that I did the Beaver liquor display. F-14 Final Countdown was up next. One I thought was going to be a quick build Boy, was I ever mistaken! Then I needed my SyFi fix and did the Star Trek Shuttle Craft. And then one I had been searching for decals and masks for ever since the USAF went public with them.

    Fresh deliveries last night…. first, I bought this off eBay to justify my need for all those Revell 1/32 Phantoms I’ve hoarded over the years. Converts an F4-F to a G Wild Weasel. Yea, probably paid as much or more than I could have picked the Revell kit up at Hobby Lobby when I saw it there, but I have enough kits! Besides, I have an F I traded away the decals it came with. Of course I needed G decals, so….off to Sprue Bros. And a few other needed supplies since I’m ordering. I use my CA glue so little it goes bad sitting on my bench. Turns to syrup. I figured my last bottle has been around 6 or 8 years. Time for new stuff.

    Ok, at Peters suggestion, I kept doing what was doing! After dealing with cold meds hangover all day I came down and scuffed out the dust bunnies and decanted more TS-15 blue. Why the hell Tamiya doesn’t sell bottles that match the spray is one of those mysterious things we will never know. But I laid down 2-3 more coats and then shot the whole thing with leveling thinner mixed with a touch of paint. This is right after spraying. Can’t wait to see how it dries out.

    Didn’t try “relaxing” the plastic with a heat gun or hair dryer first? I’ve saved a few builds with my old Monokote heat gun from the RC days.

    Got the first two coats of blue on the Phantom. Found a few spots that multiple layers of paint cannot hide. Going to let it dry and wet sand with 1200 and shoot 2-3 more coats. Hell, might get brave and lay on one good coat straight out of the can and then use the airbrush to lay down some Leveling thinner to gloss it out.

    Nice job Pete! I’m trying to rush a couple to add them to this years total. Just sprayed the blue on the phantom and realized it could be better. So I’m going to slow it down a bit and call it 8 for me this year.

    I have a 1990 F-250 with only 58,000 miles on it. Majority of my repairs have been due to time and age more than wear and tear. But yea, Ford did a good job of hiding that tilt system. Almost feels like you’re about to rip the turn signal lever off in your hand before it moves.

    Rob, I bought a Lie Nielsen small brass block plane when I got into woodworking. It’s amazing how nice it is to work with quality tools vs. bargain stuff.
  13. ScottsGT
    Awesome good time! Thanks again Ernie for your organizational skills.
  14. ScottsGT
    Yea but with grands you just have to send them home with mom and dad. 😁 They can ask them, I’ve done my household fleet repair and astronomical insurance bills with 4 young drivers.
  15. ScottsGT
    Yea, this little monkey is only 2 1/2 but acts like he’s 4 or 5 and is into EVERYTHING!
  16. ScottsGT
    Ernie, I have one of those. They are a blast! oops, forgot to mention my wife got me a small handgun safe for the bedroom since the grands are getting older.
  17. ScottsGT
    Sweet! Someone posted a 1/32 guppy conversion for the Avenger and I had to have it. Your build is great!
  18. ScottsGT
    Interesting. Spare tire was not an option with the PP in case someone had a rear flat and used it. The Torsen diff doesn’t play well with two different size tire diameters. And LOL if you think Ford is there to satisfy a customer. It’s all about the share holders.

    I keep mulling the same thing over and over. I’ve already built 9 F-16’s and still have 6 or 7 kits. Building my 4th J phantom right now, still have two in the stash. I also have 2 Tamiya E’s, a mix of about 6 or 7 Revell Phantoms as well. I keep telling myself to quit buying duplicates and the last two kits I’ve bought have been Spitfires. 🤦

    The actual reason for no spare is weight reduction numbers and trying to squeeze every oz. of gas to increase MPG. When I ordered my ‘15 I opted out on Performance Pack and went with an 18” wheel so I could order the spare tire option.

    I don’t have the book of faces as well. But I do have an iPhone and an iPad. 😁

    Just like you would in a regular post. Bottom left. Click on it and add pic from your phone/ipad/PC’s library of pics or click on “Take photo or video”. Bottom right if you host pics here or somewhere like ImageShack.

    Oh look! White stuff on my ground too. But it’s from my soap bucket after washing my car. 🤣 And the boat ride. Feels a LOT cooler than 64 across that water.
  25. ScottsGT
    LOL! We’re taking the boat out today.
