    Throwing down some primer and realized I jumped the gun. Had to back up, paint the white in the intakes and wells. Started taping them up this evening. Always find it a difficult chore to mask up the ‘pit.

    Tamiya airbrush cleaner is the same thing. I no longer buy the cement.

    Yea, can’t wait for the universal celebration or screams when it is unboxed for the first time. I’m thinking of sending some Xanax down to Ernie for when he opens his the first time. Trumpeters A team or B team?

    So I guess the Aussie fruitcake can hold a door against a 20 mph wind gust? In all honesty, I’ve had one good fruitcake experience in my lifetime.

    My wife makes mincemeat cookies for Christmas every year. Absolutely love them! It’s just fruit chopped up and spiced to perfection. People come over and eat them and go nuts. We then tell them they are mincemeat and they act like they are going to puke. No, it’s not meat…. Its gotten very hard to find the mincemeat concentrate in out grocery stores. I had to order it online last time I stocked up.

    Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the compliments.

    Wife said she’s cooking me. I guess I need to build a Viking ship for my send off.

    Looking great!

    I am a bit confused. They say it got its name because the Australian repairman changed its tail to a smaller shark shaped fin. Looks like a normal D fin to me? I was shocked to learn that’s how the actress Swoozie Kurtz got her name though.

    And unbuildable.

    Thanks Maru! Good to see an original saved like this. Gotta wonder how many people will look at it after it’s restored and wonder why it’s so different than the B-17’s that they are use to seeing.

    And that would be the end of my modeling fun!

    Damn. Most of us have a “shelf of doom”. You have a whole friggin closet? Might need to see your doc and get your meds adjusted! EDIT: SQUIRREL!!!

    There’s a thread on LSP about it. I see some minor differences, but not enough to throw the baby out with the bath water. (referring to the Trumpeter C model)

    I think so. It hit me as well when I set up my build area last year. I’m proud to say that I have not added to my SOD, but sadly have not even finished the one I pulled out to complete. Maybe soon. Maybe it’s a sign of getting our affairs in order before the day comes?

    Perfect car for the boys to learn on. Man pedal and a pos so a minor dent won’t matter.

    My X, Y, Z sale from Sprue just arrived. Of course I added a little M, T & F in too.

    I’m too “active” at my bench for him to lay out and fall asleep. Besides, my belly takes up all the room in that chair! Now watching TV in the recliner? He’s all over one of us all the time. He’ll lay out on top of my leg and against the arm rest upside down wanting belly rubs. If he’s on the bed upside down, DO NOT TOUCH BELLY! Almost 20 lbs of cat tends to lay where he fits and when he wants to.

    He heard there was another tomcat I was giving attention to. Had to check out the competition.

    I’m going to have to get a girlfriend on the side just so I can get all these new kits shipped to me. 🤪 TBD, Val, A-20 and now this… Trumpeter 1/32 F-35B coming this summer of course the “It’s unbuildable” and “They got the C model so far off it looks like a Cessna” crowd is already lighting torches and sharpening their pitch forks. Close enough for me! You know, because it’s a dying scale……

    Hey Carl, here’s how I modded my Revell exhaust to fit the Tamiya parts.

    Took my transmission shop right at two months to get me a new torque converter for my 1990 F-250 with a 351W. That was this past fall. He told me if my truck was a diesel, he could have one here overnight.

    You’re supposed to build these things? I thought they were just to fill up shelf space in the garage.
