The railgun is now mounted. Now its in the danger zone. I need to push through and add the last couple parts, decals and call it down before I find something else that distracts me. Heritagecon is Sunday so hopefully I get it done before then as I'm sure there'll be lots of shiny new plastic there.

Maybe they got Jr and Sr mixed up? I'm still on the fence about getting an Avenger. Still haven't built one in any scale but not sure that's enough of a reason. The Squirrel just isn't quite strong enough I guess.

Wow, that's approaching Canada Post wait times at their worst. Actually the longest wait time I experienced was when I mailed an airsoft Berreta 92 from Taiwan to a friend in Toronto. It spent 2 months bouncing back and forth between Canada Post and Canada Customs. The former said it was a firearm and therefore it couldn't be sent by mail while the latter said it wasn't and could be. Canada Customs finally won out and Canada Post duly delivered it. The amount of labels on the package was staggering when my friend got it.

Some challenging work there Rob but it looks good.

Scott, this is the same guy that did the C-17 for Tyler Perry.

Sorry that you couldn't find a solution to the fit of the hood. It's a spectacular looking build so I'm glad to hear you're going to finish it.

Stunning...

Hubert, with enough thrust, anything can be made to fly. Just got to make sure Scott's throwing arm is up to it. On a separate note, have you seen the RC 777 this guy built? That's large scale...

It was great to meet you and Gary and Dave (Denders) at the Nats last year. I wish I could have met more of you, including Harv. I was supposed to go to the Vegas one as it was my 50th that year. I even had the hotel booked and then COVID happened and I couldn't go. Carl

Camo time for the Lunadiver. First up was cream white. Then Elfenbein. Finally FS36081. Now for some drying time.

As Hubert said, the ZM one is the more accurate. As for the resin one, here's what mine looked like. There was no way to straighten it out completely as much as I tried. I know someone else who had the same set and theirs was even worse. The replacement set that ZM sent wasn't any better.

Wow, nice recovery there John. I guess the clean break at the tail helped. Hope the gear legs aren't as bad as they look.

Thanks for sharing the pics Vince. Some nice looking models there. Carl

I started on the paint work for the Lunadiver. First, a coat of primer Followed by some pre-shading. At this point I noticed the missing handles I'd left off so they wouldn't get knocked off. I'll add those and then start with the colour coats.

The ZM B nose supposedly is a different shape to the Takom one. It's supposed to be closer to the actual drawings and have a more correct rear cockpit. It'll certainly be better than the original ZM conversion kit for the 2 seater.
