Well I got some paint laid down tonight JN Green Tamiya Acrylics over AlClad Silver 101 on the whole plane.I was spraying the Future straight was pooling up on the forks I was kinda hmmmn?I usually find that being the mixture to thick so I added alcohol turned cloudy Nope out it goes.I then added MrColor Leveling thinner stayed clear and what a difference and it dried to the touch so fast.I will start on the chipping once the decals are laid and sealed. The P-47 just to show the George was about 85/90% that of a P-47!

This has been moving slower than expected on my part being the kit fits so well together.The belts from RB were lets say a bit of a challenge or maybe I been spoiled by Quintas?I spent three nights doing these belts one night just walking away....The pics I wish I would of looked at one last time before assembly being a little fuzzy.The wing is glued,canopies masked and working the LG's now.I am hoping things start moving a little bit quicker.

That's coming along Nicely Dave

Looking good John!The paint going to be NM or silver paint?pic looks NM to my eyes.

DrDave you did good luv the oil splatter around the exhaust and the bottom has the right touch.

I luving the pit Scott when available Quintas is the way to go.

Nice!! Looking like a racer now.

I read the book "Band of Brothers" a couple of times.Mr.Ambrose lived about 20/25 miles from me on the Gulf Coast to the W would of liked to been a fly on the wall when those guys were visiting.

Looking good Scott 2nd the motion on the bulkhead.

The pit looks most excellent... and John your props always look clean like I can never see the clear for the decals

Nice Jeroen both the engines and the bikes

Weathering looking good though.

What a plan....

Nice Rob! do polish before clear? Looking again looking pretty shiny must be the lighting.

We got a little place about 20 minutes away in the next city called Poboy Express they make a poboy called the "Steak Bomb" full 12" 3.5/4 thick for $13.The poboy is basically a Philly Steak with fried shrimp alot it is frigg'in good.I never knew the place has been there 20/30 years I hear.The Wife and I it's the go to now and she complains everywhere she eats but is always ready for PE.

I like the "Nick Nichols Nip Nippers" John That's a good looking aircraft with some Nice colors added by the pilot/crew.

Nice John.

That's a beotch Scott. I do not know how all this will play out the only other thing that has been happening since this all happened is me having from the pain somewhere whether the T1/T2 ,neck area or the rib a debilitating migraine like that has sent me home 4X thus far.

Thanks guys for the likes and looking in Martin that;s the exact pic of the pit I am using you are right one Hasegawa's better kits

Yea Scott I signed papers yesterday afternoon will be pulling together the health records and see what can be done. Oh and get this WC wants me to arrive at the depo by 9AM and it's 3 hrs away if I do not show it's denied for the most part.

I have gotten a the copit just about finished only thing left now is the bottles behind the seat.The two yellow handles on top of the main control are PE from a 1/48 kit with white glue then painted.The AC on display here in the US shows two red and three yellows bent inward.I have AM seatbelts in the stash/wall just need to locate.

Well Scott going to sign papers this afternoon WC is calling me in for a deposition doing the three D's delay,depose and deny is about to happen methinks.The doctor I have to see is suppose to be a neutral third party but is known within the system he works for WC.

Well for the first time in 20+ years I caught something the wife brought home from the kiddie's at school ...Flu.I was not in bad shape just a lot of coughing/fatigue at the doctors office tested positive no strep(wife).I got antibiotics and Tamiflu in 24hrs feeling much better be back at work tomorrow.

That looks fabulous Mark!!

It was ZK-420s I really had no business being in a Sotheby's Auction house I just did not know enough about the rifle only it was coming out of a private individual in the UK.The pics of the rifle and the machining just claim perfection throughout.I was in another auction a small house spotted a rifle being claimed a K98 but was not I think either Norway or Denmark on the country.The Germans took over the factory and were proofing the rifles with Waffen and SS marks.I had like $2500 as my top bid and some JA from like Sotheby/Tiffany's came in and cleaned or clock. https://www.poulinauctions.com/2024/10/02/extremely-rare-czech-zk-420s-semi-auto-rifle/
