Nice progress Martin. Really going together well from the looks of it. Dinner that is. Oven fried chicken?

That's a significant size discrepancy in seats there Rob. Almost like there's a Momma Bear size and a Poppa Bear size. Carl

Nice progress Ernie. Have you guys seen the Minibase Su-33? The seat in that kit is two pages of instructions.

Here's the Canadian one. https://www.wheelswingsestore.com/csm35006-copper-state-models-1-35-canadian-armoured-mg-carrier Looks like they have the Italian one too. https://www.wheelswingsestore.com/csm35005-copper-state-models-1-35-italian-armoured-car-1zm

Looks like Wheels and Wings has the Canadian one in stock on their website.

That's the way they do addresses in a lot of Asia. When I lived with my aunt in Taiwan, her address was something like Block X, Lane Y, off Alley Z or something like that. It's one of the reasons it took so long for Domino's to start delivery over there.

Wow, faster than I can take the shrink wrap off a new kit and you're on to the next build. The engine looks to be leaking a fair bit of oil in that pic. Carl

Nice progress Martin. It doesn't seem to be fighting you too much.

Peter, the chassis is looking great. Sometimes I wonder if manufacturers should call their manuals "destructions" rather than instructions they way they lay out the order that parts are supposed to go together. Carl

So that's what those two cylinders on the sides of the headrest are for. Thanks for posting that Martin.

Well, that pushed me over the edge. I've just ordered the Slovak Mig-29. Hopefully it won't arrive until I'm back from visiting my sister in Wisconsin. Don't need any porch pirates snagging it. Carl

You did a great job on the Huey Gus. Definitely the rotors can be an issue once there's more than two of them.

That's some very nice progress Peter. Things look oriented correctly and I don't see anything amiss at the moment. Carl

Talk about "the best laid plans..." Lol. Be sure to duck if she throws the hitch at you. Carl

Nice looking Flanker. I know that feeling. Hope you find everything. Carl

Waste not, want not. Got a text from my sister a while back. "I don't know what's worse. That the dog just threw up in the kitchen or that it was squirrel parts" Meantime, Jimmy just keeps getting bigger. He's now longer than Zoe and almost as tall.

I got an email last night that Heritagecon is going to be held in just over 2 weeks. https://heritagecon.com/index.html This is the model show and contest held at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Hamilton. I asked my boys if they wanted to go and my youngest was absolutely excited to attend. The show is held in the hanger of the museum so their planes are accessible for pics. If anyone has requests, please let me know and I'll try to grab some for you. Carl

Fun fact: it's actually the paint job that keeps it in the air. The optimism depicted in the flying bird allows it to defy gravity and get off the ground.

Time for a small update. I've been working on the Lanc a bit every day and it's been enjoyable. Mostly it's the been interior that I've been plugging away at. I've also got the instrument panel together. This is using the Eduard PE set. Lastly, I had a new reference book arrive.

They retooled almost the whole kit to reflect the changes. Supposedly the nose is a bit off and there's a resin correction set coming but otherwise it's supposed to be good. I cant find one in Canada at the moment or I'd grab one. Might have to suck up international postage. Carl

Great Hobbies has the CR.42 in stock. I'm visiting my sister in Wisconsin next week so could grab you one and mail to you from there. https://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=ICM32020 Let me know. Carl

That was fast! Looks great there Martin, especially the skull. Carl

I've wanted to see what this kit was like. There's a release with Slovak Tiger Meet markings I'd like to find. Not for this GB of course. Carl

Some really great progress there Rob. It's fun to watch and see as it's so different from the usual planes and AFVs. Carl

Thanks Rob! Those are for the nose turret. They look very nice indeed. The barrel I'm looking to replace is for the ICM late version and is mounted on the port wing pylon. This is how the one in the kit looks.
