give the man a cigar!

Very Nice Maru but now I see why the hobbyshop pics quit coming the liquor store

Room looks to clean and straight.

In the armor mode are we.

This is it till this W/E fellas about as dirty as I am going to get her should finish this up by Sunday.Martin I know you have some pics of the bottom all oil as heck ??

Thanks Mike dirtying her as I type glossed,Florrys,pastels and just now I semi-gloss her letting it dry right now lacquer Thanks Peter something about the MTO I cannot resist the sand remember my He-111 in the other GB. Thanks Guy she is already out of the keen/clean box. Thanks Carl I am thinking may be one of my better builds of late if I don't muck up the weathering.What weathering I have already done accomplished what I wanted/believed would happen it darken the sand.

Cool,figures for me are way out there!

Work continues no flash this go round hence not so steady pics.

Checkers for sure John and looking good!I saw a color video the other night of VMF-214 on the time after pappy's capture they had the salmon gun bays present I was like WTH never seen that before.

Major decals have been applied now on to the stencils.

I got my paint laid today Tamyia lacquer "Light Sand",Tamiya "RLM78" next two acrylics Tamiya "White" and AFK "RLM04".I did not go pre-shade on this one optioning out on a post shade how much still to be determined .I did my usual fast pace thin lines within panels splotchy like and then a general spray from further away to blend.The LS on top is splotchier than the pics depict.I plan to do a panel wash for sure what comes next is in question.

If that's the case then putty be @ hand

Looks like a panel line to me Mike if you look L of the box with rivets it's there also all the the way across the cutout to the other side

That's Nice Peter casting looks clean/sharp

About the same on the rain about 3"+ winds about 40/45G seen rain storms do more.

Looking good John I am getting there glass masked today and fitting the flaps tonight then join the wings.I am not a fan of the of the deployed slats I cut and fit tight one not so much but filler is drying as I type,I guess no weather in your neck of the woods?

Thank Peter was hoping to get some work tomorrow done but it looks like I will have some wind to contend with

Sounds like a good trade to me Ernie and happy for ya get it going and into the skies.

I wrote this earlier Chris but removed it thinking being to critical.Since the colors upstairs are going to be darker lay down the same brown in the seams and when you start to paint do the inside of the panels first.The paint is thin the pressure 12/15psi and being laid down thin.I have a knob on the back of my Renegade I can set for the draw if you have something use it.The gun is always moving inside the panel and do not go for 100% coverage once you have a few panels done start going over the seams to your liking it will take more paint.It's just the opposite on a light color like the bottom seams first then the panels.

Sorry to hear that Peter I was wondering where you had taken off to?I should count my blessings more often.

I appreciate the compliment Chris got to work a couple night shifts be atleast Wednesday before any more happens.

Thanks John these planes/kits really go together quite well don't they?

You got a Fine result John I must say.I was wondering did your instructions call out for the use of the HB seat?I was looking at that just going

He's going "Saving Private Ryan" cans and all... have fun.
