good to see you here Gary. always enjoy seeing your beautiful builds.

thanks Jamme, glad you are here. look froward to see your work.

depends how one defines hard. looking at it from 30,000 feet it was not too difficult. it was an ill fitting kit so lots of putty, ingeniuty needed. generally a fun build. if every kit fit like Tamiya then everyone would be a modeller.

Czech Model 1:32 F80C conversion to P80B What if the war in Europe continued and it's late summer 1945? This is a fantasy build considering the adjusted history giving the first jets to slug it out over the skies of Europe late summer 1945. August 1945 The War In Europe Continues • Normandy beach breakout stalled due to 21 Panzer holding advance for several weeks • Operation Bodenplatte took place on original planned date of 16 December 1944 and enjoyed a high success rate therefore impacting allied air superiority for several months, no more Natural Metal Finish (NMF) on topsides for all allied aircraft • Germany's Me262 (world's first operational jet) entered full operational status by late 1944 as a fighter • The Ardennes Offensive held allied advance well into late February March 1945, allied bombing was suffering significant losses from the Me262. After solving engine issues, the P80B is placed into operational status as bomber escort by late May 1945.

an inspiration for my future IJA builds. beautiful job on the NMF panels. oh, and the planes look pretty good too!

at times it truly was a battle, near fail several times. in the end it just made me stronger! as you pointed out I showed that LB who was Dominus.

enjoyed following this build. just a beautiful effort. that grass is most convincing.

exceptional weathering on this, I can almost smell the fumes. beautiful work Dave.

have this in my stash. look forward to work it. you have done a beautiful job on this.

nice scheme and good looking pit. will be watching this. I have 2 Trumpy Jugs and watching you and Matt work your magic on these leaves me a little encouraged.

beautiful work on this. stedfast with the seams and markings!

beautiful build, i loved following this WIP.
