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.

What a bitch Rob I only use AlClad and that's it!I taped the you know what out of the Hustler and not one issue that really sucks

Not exactly my favorite thing to do but needed to be done on my Son's truck since we are using it while he is overseas again in Japan.I told him I would keep up the maintenance on the truck for the use.The first pic is before I started with the polishing pads and grits of liquid polish.I bought the materials from Harbor Freight a Bauer orbital polisher and Grant foam pads Blue(med cut),Yellow(low cut/high finish) and Black(high cut/high finish) I did not make it to black today.The Grant pads are Nice and getting good reviews for durability and use on YT I highly recommend for us low grade DIY'ers I learned quick.The jod took me two hours from start to finish topping off with Mothers carnauba Wax.Pics1st)before 2nd)middle and 3rd)finished

I keep plugging along sometime one step forward two back?I am going to give myself a C= or B on this one the problem being I used rattle can for the black (it's a big canvas).The more I add color wise the better it starts to look so the decals shall help also.I looked at many videos these planes were polished. I have a coworker who was around these planes mentioned many models flat AL his head tilted eyes moved"No,they were shinny"

That's still a nice looking car Rob and those decals are working well it seems.

Had a good day at the range 250 rds in two weeks of .308 the gun I think iis finally dialed in and even after almost 5K rounds is working well.I am having to re-teach myself the site picture but it's coming back.The four rds in the middle was 100yds with open sights their was fifth a flyer somewhere.I have many many more rounds for practice lets about 10K I reload.

Always like your work Mike!

Santa Maria 2025 TigerCat sounds wicked and some very Nice landings made.

Cool Kris was watching a video last night of an air show with a TigerCat in it and that plane sounds wickly bad.
