Excellent job on the turret John!

I just brush for small area like that Rob in fact doing the lights on the F-100 being red/green put a drop leveling thinner in the cap and brushed no brush strokes.I have never worked with smoke though it may take layers ?

Another one hits the cabinet not as good as the Hustler but pretty decent.I was able to cut away the most offending out register decal on the L/tail area while on the plane straight edge/razor/water.One can still see some register problems on the yellow arches but at this point it is what it is.The blue of the engine area I played with clear blue kinda worked just those areas usually had silver w/blue on top ...next plane.

So lets start with that the decals suck 1/2 of the yellows are out of register and the same with the stars and bars.The red stripes on the engine area were just to then all the decals are so off to painting.I am having to handle this A/C way to much broke off one of the fuel pods no biggie just the point.I am at the point I want to just finish and move on.

You got a hanger out back...

That's some Nice scratch John and it looks like part of the tailgunner is completed also

I am moving slowly along on this one the LG's are in place kinda tricky all three!The LG's need to be built while stilling drying to get the proper alignment of three different actuator arms on the main gear and two on the front.The instructions are not the best in drawing or location and to do one side a couple times hence work while drying.I am hoping the decals work well on these curves or I will have to come up with a plan B?I can find lots of D's/F's decals C's hmnn....

Cool!

Looking good Rob I think I saw one of these built at the last meet in June it was a stunner to the eye black/gold it was.I have resorted to using Tamyia acrylics for my base on NMF depending on the result wanted Semi/Gloss maybe imagination or not seems harder when dry?

These I think up until the A-20 came along was their best kit John look forward to the build!

Just off loaded a Revell D-9 old molds to a young lad of 5 maybe spark an interest?

That damn Persian Rug flaw has to show up in 98% of our builds!!!!!,,But be a GOOD carpenter and hide the mistake looking good.

Nice one Guy I like it a lot...I have often thought about a train at some point?

Got the same on my 89 F-150..... me I get to change out the M/C this W/E maybe two hours of work it's only 36 years old w/150k

Now I have the Trumpter 1/48 F-100C main color is Alclad #126High Shine AL. Rudder is Alclad #101 Basic AL..The tail are was first Alclad Exhaust manifold,Pale burnt metal a darker Burnt metal all applied in a vertical motion if I had a blue vary sparing some of that would of happened.I had to do some touch-ups on the 126 from paint and I started noticing it was just a tad different and I started doing verticals on the fuse.I hope it last overnight and stays just breaks up the scheme to my liking.

The video popped up about nine days ago and a really big show in the Netherlands with some really cool figures.The video gets quite interesting at the 20 min mark with some exceptional dioramas being produced looking so realistic.

I remember Chris still came out sweet looking.

Thanks Paul this was a big canvas for silver she came out pretty well. Thanks Carl I am thinking though the F-100C's finish may be even better?

I had one major flaw R/side had frames thought it was a window but not so did the best repair after decals applied.She came out a little better than anticipated.

That's legal definition is more than one projectile per trigger pull basically gatling has that rotating lever.I have seen .22 cal gatling's squirrel killers mounted on something like a Rav4.

Another Nice one John you got these girls down pat.

I will clear coat tomorrow with Pledge thinned with Mr.Leveling thinner makes it lay smooth and drys much quicker .The engines are what they are I got a no seam in what you look from the outside but inboard side I did not mess with.I found out doing the belly tank just putting putty and paint does not work still looked white in a sense.I painted a hairline color of black on the engine seams to the wing sprayed AlClad 105 and all was good.I think once all said and done it will not be a bad looking build giving it a B grade. The F-100C is the Trumpter kit got good vibes on this no seams hardly at all.

Sorry to hear that Gus MIL passed on 1/8/25 knew her longer than my own mother 40 years.Take care of Mom.
