That beats the pic I ended up with. I've been playing Pokemon with the boys and one of the things you have to do is take a pic of your Pokemon. This one ended up in front of Sue...

Try Deserres. Their prices don't seem too bad. If you buy the big one it's free shipping too. https://www.deserres.ca/en/dcm Mine is the 12x18. I have two of them stacked on top of each other for no real reason I can think of.

Kev, they're not bad. I thought the same thing when I looked at them. They're designed well and if you're careful with the glue, they still work after assembly.

Don't worry Steve! It's staying in the box for a while. Trying to finish the Corsair at the moment.

Looks really nice in the box.

Kev, the Miniart M3 is a very nice kit. The only fit issues I had were operator inflicted. I just need to get back to mine and finish it. Carl

I built one a little while back. It was enjoyable enough and I don't recall any huge issues with the build. I think some folks have said there are some shape issues but I didn't know enough about 109s to recognize them. Carl

Very nice and clean there John. Carl

I really don't know how I get anything done at my workbench...

Really lovely build John. How did you find the wing fold? I picked up the one piece wing as well as I wasn't sure if the folded wings would hold. Or worse, I'd just knock them off. Carl

Well, it looks like I haven't updated this in a while. As a result I seems to have missed documenting a few steps. I attached the engine to the frame and cowl flaps. The engine then went onto the assembled fuselage. I then finished the assembly of the wing centre section. This was attached to the fuselage and that's where I am now.

Nice progress on this. I'm still waiting for the D conversion to come out. Carl

Mine's a bit buried but here's most of it. I also have the F-8C and RF-8G conversion sets. Wish I had the Meteor F.8 set. Carl

It was posted on LSP.

That's what I was thinking.

Nice work on the Phantom Peter. Glad to hear your hands are getting better. I just got told by my LHS the ZM F-4EJ kit came in and they're holding one for me. Hope to swing by and grab it later in the week. Looks like I'm going to be slipping into 1/48 for some subjects too. Carl

Hopefully the masks don't take too long to get to you.

Nice! Surprised about the Eduard bits being not usable but I guess it happens. Carl

Looks great. The more I see of your build, the more I'm tempted by the kit. Carl

Which means impossible to get in Canada. Unless you smuggle them in yourself...

Trying to keep Sunny from drinking my decal water...

John is a master at it.

Assembly is done, time for decals.

Just had another package show up. Saw a ZM A-1H for sale and the price was too good to pass up. All the above was $140 CAD shipped. I might just do the box markings this time. Or if I can find the toilet bomber...

I got some custom masks done by DN Models. They're for the pair of HK Lancs that are in my stash. VR-R and the shark mouths go on R for Ropey which was a regular Lanc. AJ-K (ED934) was a Dambuster Lanc piloted by a Canadian P/O Vernon Byers. His Lancaster was the first to be shot down on the raid and unfortunately none of the crew survived.
