    That's a fair bit of progress. I only have a couple smaller Modelcollect armour kits and the fit is similar to what you're experiencing. Likewise with the incomplete instructions.

    MMM, General Tao's chicken.

    I've hurt my shoulder so bench time has been a bit sparse of late. I can manage short stunts before the pain gets too much so I haven't really gotten much done. That being said, I finished the upper torso to the Wing Gundam. With the upper CIWS Gatlings and the cockpit open. I've used a silver Prismacolor pencil to do some weathering. I've got the shoulder parts all trimmed and cleaned up ready for a coat of paint and then assembly.

    Looking forward to this.

    Amazing work.

    In high school I had a summer job working for Players as a stock boy. They paid really well for what it was but the biggest perk was the discount on the cigarettes. I think they were $20 a carton which was I think less than half price. I should have stocked up on them and sold them to my classmates as I didn't smoke myself.

    The classic black and gold paint scheme. Absolutely iconic.

    That, and they look purty.

    Picked up a couple kits recently. Actually, I bought them back in August for pick up from my LHS but only made it there last week. First up was an oldie. Not sure it's a goodie but it's the only game in town. Pre- WWII subjects are a rare one for me so we'll see how this ends up. I recently got an F2G Super Corsair conversion kit so when a Tamiya Corsair came up for a great price I knew I'd found my base kit.

    I've had a similar experience as well. For me, it's the nozzle as well but on my Iwata airbrushes. I keep the tools on my bench handy for a quick clean and disassembly and then I'm back in business. I've found some paints are more thoroughly cleaned/flushed than others too. Carl

    Really nice there.

    That's a lovely looking B-58.

    Kotare have also announced a BF109 E too. It seems like this could be a very expensive year for some folks. Carl

    That's a nice shine. Looks great.

    Sorry to hear about Garfield. They're such a part of our families. Carl

    Well, I guess it's a good thing the cockpit windows are small?

    The car looks good Rob. It's a shame that the chrome paint is so fussy. I wonder if you would be able to get a replacement decal sheet from Revell?

    Those seats look good but I'm wondering if they're correct for a B-52. They look a lot like an Aces II seat which I'm not sure was used on the B-52.

    I've been fighting a stomach bug for the better part of a week so I don't want to work on anything too complicated. So I pulled out a Bandai kit, their MGSD Wing Gundam Zero. Being an MG (Master Grade) series kit, the parts are moulded in colour so painting is optional. I went ahead and painted everything anyways. So after about 45 minutes of clipping parts, cleaning up sprue nubs, painting, and finally assembly, I had the head done. No masking or glue was used. Which I guess is the "not too complicated" part.

    I think he was ground crew for B-52s that participated in Linebacker. Others will know better.

    First build of this kit that I've come across. I think Harv would have loved this kit.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Yikes! That is one fragile paint finish. It does look nice if you can avoid touching it.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    The gun bays are looking good. The ammo chutes actually having ammo in them is one of these subtle details that can properly tie things together. Carl

    Those carbon decals look impressive. Glad to hear they work well.

    Rob, the kit is not bad. The overall shape is good as is the fit. There are a couple odd errors in it which are not too difficult to fix. Paragrafix makes a nice PE set for it that corrects much of it. There's a Japanese company that made resin figures of Gaff and Decker to seat inside it but they're not the easiest to find. I'll definitely do a WIP when I get going on it. Carl
