    Awesome progress there Jeroen. It really captures what you see in the pics. Carl

    Thankfully no Lamborghini wheels in sight. Hopefully with their own dedicated space on the bench, it'll be less chaotic for my boys. As for the cat, he's the smart one: It does mean I have watch where I put the CA glue so he doesn't become a permanent part of the bench . I still don't know how sleeepin on top of sprues, PE and tools can be comfortable though. Carl

    Free shipping too but for the US only.

    FreeTime Hobbies is having a moving sale and they have the HK Lanc on sale. https://freetimehobbies.com/1-32-hk-models-avro-lancaster-mk1-s-sugar-le-edition-w-clear-parts/ They also have other HK kits at a pretty good price. Carl

    Happy birthday Jeroen! Carl

    Not by a long shot. My bench "area" pretty much looks like that. I'm in the middle of trying to make room on my bench for my boys but I'm failing miserably. Anything not on a shelf is technically a work in progress. I don't even know what everything is. So I'm definitely not as organized as CAT is. My plan for the new year is to try and get through at least one pile of started kits...

    I don't have the kit but I understand the Aerocraft brass landing gear is a must buy. Carl

    No kidding!

    Archer transfers I believe has some as well. Carl

    You'll like the X-Wing. It's a very nice kit. If you do any weathering with oil based washes, be careful as they can make the plastic brittle and cause cracking. Carl

    Great start Dale! Keep it up and you'll be done in no time! CMK makes resin gear bays so maybe you can get those to replace the ones that got mucked up. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/CMK5048?result-token=eYa2O Carl

    We'll, I got the fuselage together. I also put the landing gear legs together and temporarily stuck them into the fuselage to keep them aligned correctly. I have a couple small seams along the bottom but they'll be gone with a quick pass of Mr Surfacer. Them it was time to add the wings. One at a time so I could get as tight a fit at the wing root as possible. Then the other side once the first one was dry. It's really starting to look like a plane now. Carl

    Thanks Jeroen! It really goes together nicely.

    Fantastic looking spinner and tail planes there Jeroen. Carl

    I guess they felt calling it a Probe might not work.

    Rob, the Wild Willy was my first RC car. They still make that one too. I've also got a VW Type 2 bus on the same chassis for my wife to try out. We'll see how that goes. Carl

    Something I've wanted since Tamiya first released it back in the '80s: Honda City Turbo or as it was originally called, Willy's Wheeler. I picked it up a few years ago when Tamiya decided to reissue it. Decided it was time to build it. It's a1/10 RC car which is where Tamiya truly make their money from. Carl

    Yup, definitely a Mosquito. Carl

    I was going to ask the same question. There was a hobby shop here in Toronto that used to have a B-36 model hanging from the ceiling. The wingspan was at least 8ft. When the shop closed I have no idea what they did with it. Carl

    Got a bit more done yesterday. The seat and engine are both installed now. I'm hoping to start closing up the fuselage soon. Carl
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Really nice build and great looking display. The addition to the base makes a difference too. Carl
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Maybe some poutine and back bacon would help? All kidding aside, great work so far Tony. Carl

    Found a bit of confirmation on the F-51 release listed on Tamiyablog. There's no release date but it's not on the list of January releases so February perhaps? Carl

    The pace on the Junkers D.1 slowed down a bit as I got distracted building this guy: It's a resin 1/35 Zero from Industria Mechanika. Just needs the canopy and maybe a couple hinomarus to finish it off. Carl

    We'll, it seems it was more than a day or so for my next update. I haven't worked too much on the Junkers lately but have made some progress. I finally got the pilot's seat done. I used the kit PE belts and they worked out ok. I also worked on the engine a bit. They're probably not completely accurate but for some reason I wanted to do all the bolts in brass so I did. That's it for now. Carl
