That's a beautiful model Gus. Definitely one to be proud of. Carl

The Hammerhead would be nice to see. I have somewhere an old 1/48 resin one. Full of pin holes and badly cast details. There's a B5 White Star somewhere at my parents house too.

BNA Models out of Australia is now running a Deal of the Day. They previously had the Hobbyboss 1/32 B-24 and today's offer is the Hasegawa 1/16 Camel. https://www.bnamodelworld.com/model-planes-hasegawa-models-ha-50031-1:16-mu1-wwi-british-sopwith-camel-f-1 I thought I'd share since it's a great price, 1/3 of what it costs in Canada.

Nice looking new set of wheels Peter. I'm sure you'll have most of figured out shortly. We got our RAV4 hybrid last June and I'm still finding the odd feature I didn't know about. If it's a hybrid, like Hubert said you're going to love the lower gas bills. We got a RAV4 hybrid last June and the mileage has been great. Easily double the mileage of our Honda.

The last piece of the puzzle for my Tamiya F-14B build arrived today.

I've got the first Rye Field Panther kit in the stash. The one with the full interior and clear upper hull. It looks daunting enough.

Interesting to see the difference in the execution of the camo. The rear one definitely is the more appealing to me as well.

Nice work on the turret and guns. The spare wheel and track holders are a nice touch too.

Hubert, suposedly they're back. Someone took over the business. https://www.archertransfers.com/ArcherMain2.html

Whoa... Some very nice and precise river work there Hubert.

That really is great looking engine Rob. Looking at some of the pics, is there enough clearance on some of the wires for the exhaust headers to fit onto the engine?

Dennis, thanks for the information. I see I may have to do some touchups in the future on some of my Spitfire builds.

Great looking Rhino Chris. You really put white the effort into it and it was well worth it.

Great job Chris. I'm happy to have helped out. It's a great looking build.

Too... ...much... ... information!!!!!

That's a stunning looking engine there Rob. Well worth the effort that you've put into it. Hopefully the wiring isn't too bad.

Hubert, the Reedoak figures really are on a different level. I have a pair of them from my Tamiya F-14 and they're truly stunning. Not only is the detail exemplary, but the figures fit the ejection seat and controls perfectly. No need to tweak anything to get their hands in place.

Nice job on the clear bits there Chris. One other solution for the future is trying a clear UV gel. They would set up a lot faster so you could build up the thickness needed. You can also get a nice domed shape to them. I've used it for wingtip lights and IP dial faces.

Sorry I missed you too Ernie. I am glad the screwdriver missed anything critical though. Closest I come to that is watching an Xacto slowly roll off the bench and land in my foot. Which I'm sure has happened to others on here.

That's so cool to see the progress. Happy birthday too Rog.

I applied the decals and gave the missiles a wash with Tamiya Dark Grey. I didn't put all the decals on as each middle as it is has more decals on it than the F-15 itself.

Thanks Peter. They're Japanese AAM-3 missiles actually. Fairly recent design so I thought it more appropriate for the build. I was originally going to use AIM-9X missiles which could explain the mix-up.

Hey look, an RLM 66 squirrel!
