    That makes more sense. I think I'm good but thanks for the offer. I think my bench might collapse if I put another kit on it.

    The hardest/fiddly-est part of the T-33 build is fitting the intakes. It went ok and I'm going to uses some Mr Surfacer to fill in the small seams/gaps. I've also added a spreader bar at the rear to make the fuselage shape better fit the lower wing.

    It's that bad?

    Yup, it's the Special Hobby 1/32 T-33 kit. This is my second one. Learned a lot from building the first one so this is going a lot smoother. It's going to done as Mako One. I had originally planned to do it in 1/48 before I found decals in 1/32 for it.

    More work on the cockpit tub idone. Installed onto the fuselage. The clamps are holding it into place. This is going together faster than I expected.

    The nose gear bay is now in. More progress on the cockpit. It needed some small tweaks to improve the fit into the fuselage.

    Some work done on the cockpit.

    I ordered mine on eBay from a vendor I've used before. Bought it on the 14th and it arrived yesterday. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/375047206586?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4QrLNwTjS2K&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=J7xpuL_STvq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    It's a tiny kit. 64 road wheels. That's going to be...fun.

    Slight mismatch on the fuselage halves. Thankfully gluing it in sections let me tweak the fit and get a better alignment.

    The new Takom Weasel arrived today. This is the amphibious version. There's a picture of one loaded inside a British LVT-4 during the Rhine crossing so that's what I plan to use it for.

    The intakes are sorted and just drying so I've started gluing the fuselage together. I have to do it in sections to get it lined up as best as possible.

    Looks great John. I really need to do a razorback Mustang one day.

    Looks great Peter. Nice sharp and clean demarcation in the camo scheme.
  15. BlrwestSiR
    Hopefully it wasn't used.

    Got a case of the squirrels (is that a thing?) this afternoon. I grabbed a Mako Shark to try and make it go away. Had some fun figuring out fit issues but might just keep going.

    Wow... Nice fix too on the canopy markings.

    We do an outdoor tree so we're just waiting for the Christmas tree vendor to set up and start selling them to buy one.
  19. BlrwestSiR
    Still better than mine!

    I've got three compressors under my bench. One has a leak and needs to be fixed. The original replacement for it just didn't have the power/capacity so it was swapped out for the third one. So far so good. I'm hoping I can find someone to fix the first one though.

    Gunze makes a tool specifically for removing stuck paint bottle lids. It works on Mr Color( both acrylic and lacquer), Tamiya and AK bottles. I have it and it has proven very handy. I'll grab a pic when I get home.

    I'm in with the winners choice of the following: - 1/35 Border Models Tiger I early Or - a $75 USD or equivalent gift card to one of the major online shop of the winner's choosing/locale So Hannants, Sprue Brothers, BNA, etc I'll try to get a pic of the Tiger kit shortly. Carl

    Lots of masking tape there Peter. I take the same approach, outline the area in thin tape then fill it in with thicker bits.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    I don't know about those canopy details. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to have to check them out.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    That's a lot of wheels. Nice technique to get rid of the seams.
