    That looks awesome. Colour me jealous. My wife decried that the garage is for only cars and bikes, and not to used as a workshop. She's concerned I'll turn it into one and we'll never get the cars back into it. Carl

    Tony, that's far too neat and tidy. I think it's staged. Carl

    I dunno. Have you seen Adam Savage's colleague and fellow modeler in this video?

    Thanks Harv! I got a bit more done today. The hubs and props are next up. Then it was time to do the MGs. Here's the kit ones in the middle of removing the stock barrels. I need to do the outer pair of nose guns next. I also masked off and painted on the crosses.

    That looks awesome Ernie! Great tips on the build too which should help others. Carl

    Thanks Harv, it is isn't it? Almost makes you wish there was an all black B-25.

    The Bf 110 seemed to carry some very heavy exhaust staining in almost all in service pics I've seen so I added some using Tamiya smoke. The other side of the nacelle where the exhaust goes under the wing. I then added a bit of olive drab to the staining to add a bit more opacity.

    I'm really liking it as well. It's a touch more expensive than Gunze here in Canada but it seems to be easier to find so that should balance things out. Me too. But the pics for this plane show a somewhat dirty finish so I'm going to try for one. Not my usual that's for sure.

    I'm back at it since the deadline is coming up. I'm not sure I'll make it but if I don't try, I won't know. I finally finished off the fuselage for French Kiss and got it ready for a black base coat. I used Tamiya X1 for this. After an initial light coat, I noticed a couple spots needed some quick sanding so I did that and then sprayed a full coat of paint. Now to let that dry for a bit. Carl

    Occasionally I get a bit of frosting if I'm spraying a flat clear so I usually stick to a satin finish. Try adding a drop or two of gloss to your flat and that might help with the frosting issue.

    Up to your usual high standards there John. Carl

    Nice to see you here Scott. Carl

    Cool! I've got a pair of these under construction at the moment. They're in the HK group build section. You may want to consider the Eduard corrected seats as well. HGW also has them in a set with their fabric seat belts if you want add those as well. Last thing would be nose weights. There's a couple sets out there or you can make your own. I used pennies in one of mine as they're no longer legal tender here in Canada. Carl

    Hey Martin, Tamiya is coming out with an RC version of your car! https://tamiyablog.com/2019/02/some-extra-details-and-bonus-of-the-upcoming-tamiya-58664-ford-mustang-gt4/ You should get one for your daughter and do it up like your car. Carl

    It's really looking good Ernie. Carl

    I'm not sure of their size. It does look like the same conversion that they tested on Top Gear when James May drove up that volcano on Iceland. We don't get the Hilux in Canada which is a shame. We have to wait until they're 15 years old to import one.

    Happy birthday Tony! Carl

    It's Chinese New Year so that makes sense. Most of China shuts down about now for a couple weeks so that the workers can go back to their hometowns. Carl

    Thanks Gaz! The new AK Real Colors spray very nicely and clean up great too.
  20. BlrwestSiR
    I think we do. I don't generally do too much on the weathering side of things. My most weather beaten build is still my Birdcage Corsair. Thanks Nigel! It's definitely differently from what I can tell. I'm using a profile out of one of Kagero's Battle of Britain books as the reference.

    Really looks amazing Nigel! Carl

    Crazy weekend with family stuff but I snuck away long enough to paint the wings. The wingtips need some touchup as you can see above so that'll be next. In the meantime, a quick trial run: Carl
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks Mike! I agree, I still can't believe no one at Dragon proofread/ built the kit following their instructions. Thanks Gaz!
  24. BlrwestSiR
    More like hairball technique.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    This should be fun. Can't wait to see more. Carl
