Wow, nicely done schmutz!

Wow stunning work.

I have a couple nice rums in the cabinet as well. They definitely are very nice like you mentioned.

That's a big plane. Thr paintwork so far looks great. GPM, a paper model company does (did?) a 1/33 Buff which I briefly entertained the thought of trying. The promo pic had a little girl holding the finished model with its 8' wingspan.

After purging my wallet, I picked up a nice Glenfiddich in Hong Kong. My wife Sue added the Kavalan when she left Taipei.

Rob, it was worth the blood, sweat and tears. Not to mention the swear words.

I think it's what happens when you have the "Buy it Now" button set to auto.

I wish it was a private jet. Edward and I are stuck in the cattle class section of the plane. At least there's more legroom on this part of the flight compared to what we had flying from Hong Kong to Vancouver.

I purged my wallet at the duty free picking up a nice Scotch. Just got on our flight from Vancouver to Toronto so I'll post pics when I'm home.

I've done something similar with Tamiya's thinners. At least I was able to pick it up on sale so wasn't as expensive as what you probably paid. Some Mr Color products are getting harder to find in Canada due to labelling and chemical compounds in them. Tamiya aerosols already got banned for that reason.

Rob, it's really awesome just being able to go down the block and see so many shops here. The Tamiya shop was evenly split between RC, Mini4WD ( their biggest money maker) and scale models. My son browsing the model section. They even sold individual sprues from kits.

Went to the Mong Kok district in Hong Kong today. Last time I was here, there were numerous hobby shops in close proximity to one another. This time it was pretty much the same, although the first one I tried to visit no longer existed. I did find a Tamiya Factory store though. Going around the corner from there, we found a mall that had at least 20 shops selling Lego, Pokemon cards, action figures and diecast cars. On the next floor, it was more of the same except Gundam models instead of Lego. There also several RC car shops and an airsoft gun shop too. Finally found a more typical hobby shop and I picked up a more travel friendly sized Godzilla kit.

Hope you and the flappers are getting better. The 109 is looking most excellent.

Absolutely! I enjoyed it very much.

So close to completion too. I'm glad you're going to take a pause before deciding on your next steps as it's a lovely looking build. Hopefully we get to see it back in one piece. Carl
