    Time for some city stompin' fun: The Godzilla kit is supposed to close in scale to the Mechagodzilla kit I picked up a year or so ago.

    Great progress there Pete, especially on your hands getting back to normal. I keep balking at the Quinta stuff but I'd they come out with one for the F-5F or Mig-29UB I may just have to get one.

    Nice! I'm waiting for the 2 seater D version to come out. The 2 seater somehow looks meaner. Carl

    Thanks folks! Just a small update today. I noticed that the wing spar was starting to bend at one end and was concerned that it would break. As a result, I decided to glue it to the lower wing section. To further brace it, I started on the gear bay walls. It seems to be ok and I'm no longer worried about it breaking now. The last thing I got done was painting the rad inserts. Hopefully I'll get more done in the next couple days.

    Keep going Rob! I'm all for watching you work your magic on this. Carl

    The camo looks good there Gaz. If you're covering the whole tank in white wash, does the but of overspray become that critical? Or are you just whitewashing the lower hull? Carl

    An incredible amount of detail and very clean building. Carl
  8. BlrwestSiR
    Well, it is legal here in Canada.

    Very nice work Peter. Glad to hear the feedback on the Look IP as well as the Quinta ones. Might have to try one of them on a future build. Although the Quinta seems a bit pricy. Carl

    Me three!

    With the fuselage all closed up, I decided to work on one of the mids made to the actual plane. Being a purpose built land based Corsair, the tailhook was omitted. Also the rear halves of the tail wheel doors was fixed shut. Although not mentioned in the instructions, Tamiya includes a recess on the closed doors to show where to cut them. I made the cut and attached the doors in place along with the rear fairing. Then I used thin sheet styrene to cover the remaining opening. Thankfully I found a pic of it in Dana Bell's book on the Corsair so knew what it looked like. This was then riveted to finish it off.

    Kai, I'm using Mr Color C365 Gross Sea Blue (well, that's what it says on the label). It's part of their WWII US Naval Color set. I have added a bit of Intermediate Blue to lighten it a bit as the actual plane was quite weathered.

    Looks great there Tony. Always nice to see a real world use of these new products. Carl

    The new Resin2Detail Lancaster seats arrived today. All I can day is wow.

    Beautiful model there Rob, and think it's so small too. Thankfully my boys keep taking my 1/72 kits from the stash and build them themselves. Saves my eyesight.

    Yup, Justin Bieber, Nickelback and Celine.

    You forgot the Zamboni. Not RCMP but since we're hitting on Canadian stereotypes, a few years ago a friend and I were heading to his cottage. It was about 3 in the morning as we got close and passed the local Tim Hortons. There was about 6-7 cars in the parking lot and they were all OPP cruisers.

    I'm almost afraid to look.

    It's paid already thankfully. The city is linked to the province with regards to parking tickets and won't let you renew your license plate until they're paid. A friend found this out the hard way when he went to renew his plates and found he had $1200 in outstanding parking fines. There's no statutes on them either. So the fines don't expire.

    Not really a recent purchase. I was going through my AM bin trying to find some seat belts. Found them but also found I have a lot of Master Model brass details. I need to do a better job of cataloguing my stash. I also found in the same bin a parking ticket. Possibly my first.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Looks good there Gaz. Did you swap out the barrel?
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Very nice cockpit there John. Up to your usual high standards. Carl
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Before I closed up the fuselage, I painted around the cockpit opening. This should help with the masking later on. Then it was time to close her up. Here's a view into the cockpit. I still need to add the gun sight and headrest.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks Gaz! Thank you Harv!
  25. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks Kai! That was my plan with the belts. I even though of leaving them loose until the plane was finished and having them dropped over the fuselage sides. Yup, they're staying the way the are. Especially since they're glued in place now.
