Nice progress on the Mustang there Peter. Your choice of markings is great too. Not one of the usual suspects. Carl

I had the Revell kit too. Sounds like I didn't do much better on it. I'm using a Tamiya kit to do the same markings. Didn't like VF -1 for the longest time, then nostalgia kicked in. Carl

For some subjects, I like the link and length tracks. They speed things up a bunch and still give you decent detail.

I think those are Pegasus model kits. They use ABS plastic for some reason. But Tamiya now has ABS cement...

Smitty, can't wait to see the Tomcat build. So, hi-vis or low? For me it' would have to be hi-vis. Carl

Wow.

Looks very nice. And much cheaper than the Border Lanc too. Carl

Too bad it's not the bubbletop or I'd help you out and have it sit in my stash to never get built instead.

Peter, here you go. It's a very easy conversion if you use the AML set. Carl

Nice choice Peter. If you want to improve the accuracy a bit, Barracudacast does some nice resin updates that are mostly plug and play. I built one as a Mk Vb and still have another to do with the Barracudacast bits. Carl

Nice! I finally got an airbrush holder after using my cleaning jar for the longest time as a one. Should have done so long ago.

A nice assortment of subjects there Rob. Carl

Rob, I'm glad you found it helpful. The antenna are definitely going to be a bit more work to get done not only cleanly but aligned properly too. Carl

Thanks Rob! It's my lower back too. I saw a chiropractor and I'm much better but still not 100%. I need to work on my core muscles so will start that once I'm a bit more healed up. I'm really enjoying the Lib and the more relaxed approach to building it. I'll still do some crazy detailed thing at some point but I think this is the way to go for some of my builds. Like the other 4 engine heavies in the stash....

A squadron of Mig-21s in RCAF service? https://www.google.com/amp/s/theaviationgeekclub.com/cf-121-redhawk-program-the-true-story-behind-canadas-purchase-of-30-soviet-built-mig-21-fishbed-fighters/

With my back on the mend, I've finally spent a bit of time at the bench. Just enough to work on the bombs a bit. I did say a bit. Hopefully I'll have more in the next update.

Rob, with the canopy on mine I glued it on a section at a time to make sure it lined up correctly. I found the rest of the pics from my build in my old Photobucket account. I'm trying to figure out how I can download them but may not succeed. This link will take you to it so you can see the pics there. Hopefully they'll be of some use to you. https://app.photobucket.com/u/FG2Si/a/a9225881-37ab-42cf-93f2-f4ab099afb00 Carl

I think Fusion Models did a conversion for this plane at one point. Can't recall for certain. Carl

Very nice work on the camo Mark.

The DS tracks are a real hit or miss on when they deteriorate. I have some in my T-95 that look fine. Same with a Tiger. But that doesn't mean I trust them. At least these days there are plastic sets that are as detailed as the metal ones and much cheaper. No easier to assemble though.

Not their armour kits but my LHS got in the Dragon/Cybermodeler BF-109E kit and it uses the same material for the wheel wells. Myself and one of the staff were inspecting the kit when we both noticed it start to crumble. Rob, I have some indie link tracks from a Meng Jagdpanther I didn't use. I'd be happy to send them your way. They're from a G1 kit though so not sure if they're ok for a G2. Carl

Very nicely done there Rob. It does bring back memories of working on mine. Carl

Nice piece of tail Harv! Wait, that didn't come out right. Anyways, progress is progress. I haven't been able to sit at my bench the last few days due to my back. Hopefully I'll be back at it soon enough. Carl

Great work Mark! Love that engine. I was thinking the same thing.

Fantastic looking cockpit Rob. The placards add a nice touch. Carl
