    We had a conference once at Casino Niagara. I had to cross the casino floor to get to our conference room and got asked for ID by the security guard. I was 34 at the time. He was like "Oops, sorry. Thought you were younger". Only time I've been on a casino floor.

    Still haven't been to Vegas so haven't had a chance to lose all my money. Yet.

    Good for reenacting that scene from Goodfellas. Stunning looking ride Ernie. Glad you pulled that off the SoD. Sue still wants a leadsled of some sort or a stepside pickup. But with the amount of salt on our roads, they're usually just held together by the salt stains and maybe baling wire.

    Rob, I like the approach you're taking with the multiple layers of paint to get that worn look. I did the same thing on my birdcage Corsair. Carl

    If you want a new different engine in a Corsair, look for the F2G Corsair. It also had a bubble top canopy and cut down rear fuselage. I wish someone did that version in 1/32. Carl

    Not sure if full strength ammonia is available here. At least I've never seen it. They are handy jars aren't they?

    I drop empty Tamiya acrylic bottles into a tub with a squirt liquid Tide laundry detergent and water. After a day or two, I have clean jars ready to use. Carl

    Did she win anything?

    My sons decided to 1) surprise me 2) spoil me For my belated 50th, they got me the following: Now I have confirmation that my sons have way more money than Sue or I. Carl

    Looks great John. Glad you got it off the SoD, even if it was only there for a few hours. Carl

    Looks good Gary. Never built a half-track yet. I have the Dragon M16 in the stash but none of the German ones. Carl

    Ernie, anything you don't have? Blue police phone box maybe? Carl

    More paintwork done before I start assembly on the second mandible. The initial colour coat. Second coat of paint and a bit more refined.

    Thanks! There's so many tight corners and what-have-you that this is probably the best approach to painting it. They're sold by Ammo but are made by HobbyZone. They have different size openings depending on the type of paint brand you want to store. Best part is they're not expensive.

    That really looks great.

    Same here. No tip tanks too if I can get away with it.

    John, I built the Italeri kit which did have issues with the piping being warped. So probably a different problem. Lol. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

    If you ever get the chance to go to Hong Kong, go to the Mong Kok district. Last time I was there, I visited a half dozen Hobby shops within a couple blocks of each other. I wish I had an extra suitcase or two for all the stuff I wanted. Carl

    I take it that's the Infinity kit? Carl
  21. BlrwestSiR
    That about sums it up.

    Great job on the decals and can't wait to see the next update where she'll probably be done. Carl

    I've got a Fly Sea Hurricane in the stash so it'll be interesting to see how this compares to it. Carl
  24. BlrwestSiR
    I had the same problem. Kept bumping into things with it. If you use the Master pitot, watch out you don't stab yourself. Ask me how I know.

    Nice job on the canopy Rob. Can't wait to see the rest. Carl
