    Just don't start working on your Mustang fastback as I don't have one of those.

    Looks like 1/1 scale.

    Lovy paint job Peter. The P-38 looks fantastic. Glad to hear you're feeling better. As for Tamiya decals, I'm not always the biggest fan but one trick I have found to help get them to adhere is to use a damp hot cloth to press down on them. Put some decal softener on them, wait a bit and then press down with the cloth. I use a microfibre one for that. Some folks use a hair dryer to get the same results. On my Grey Nurse Spitfire, I used the kit decals for the shark mouth as the masks didn't work out. They managed to confirm to every rivet and fastener nicely.

    What about "Here Kitty, Kitty"? This could encompass anything feline related and would allow aircraft, armour and even cars.

    To paraphrase The Simpsons a bit: "Urge to build my Sea Fury rising..."

    The replacement light seems to have worked. You could also try UV gel. That is usually clear as well.

    Great photos Gary. Did you get the chance to ride in any of the tanks?

    Great progress there John. I think on day 2 of my PCM Hurricane, I had the IP together.

    Construction is done on Andromeda. Just need to do the decals.

    Peter, it's certainly a different way to fight the carpet monster.
  14. BlrwestSiR
    Oops, forgot to post the Andromeda itself.

    One nice thing about having a cat in your lap when I'm at the bench. She acts as a catch-all for parts I drop. Makes it easier to find them than searching on the floor.

    Looks to be an awesome museum to visit. Have fun and look out for more photobombs.

    Wow, stunning work seeing it all come together. At least you can lift the turret off and see most of the interior that way.

    I just need to have the kids lean waaayyyy back in their seats.....

    Scott, I didn't notice if there were lenses. So hopefully they're in the box or I'll need to make some too.

    Now that Trumpeter has announced the floatplane version, I might just need to get these.

    Fran, I think you'll be happy when you try them out. They're very well done, nice and opaque, and durable. Never had a problem with them. Here's his F-104 set Some of his Spitfire decals

    Isn't it? It has hydraulic dampers so when you lower it with the bikes on, it doesn't slam into the ground. Our other rack is very similar except it held the bikes by the fork crown. So in order to get the bikes on or off, you had to lift them much higher. This one you can almost roll the bikes into it. Here's that one on our Element.

    There is a similar law here for obstructing your license plate but I've found that cops ignore it unless you're driving a compact car which might be belong to some young punk into going fast. I got stopped once in our old Civic and the bicycle cop said that we should leave the rack folded down so it didn't block out plate. No ticket though. A friend who owns a bike shop and drove a VW GTI was stopped several times for the same thing. The last cop who stopped him said if he owned a bike shop a pickup might be a more appropriate work vehicle. So anyone driving an SUV or pickup gets a free pass.

    Me too. Especially with a hull covered in spare track links. Something the Canucks loved doing.

    It's not bad. Haven't tried satellite yet.
