Thank You Hubert while a little bit of a challenge at times it was fun. Thanks Rob I do think my paint is getting better in the last year but the weathering was just a wash I still have more to learn. Thanks Gary Like any SP kit pay attention in the WW/LG area but I can see a Whirlwind coming Thanks.

Alright time to move on fellas to the next project.Peter the inner door actuators kept braking off so made out of .015" guitar string with a brass head then drilled the body of the actuator and just glued to the door only(bad pic).I used Alcad smoke first time ever using it easy just went a little heavy on the R/side of the plane.The bombs got a wash of Tamiya brown right on MrColor and then Tamiya grey wash both done with a q-tip did not touch the paint.Thanks for the likes and interest fellas.

Getting closer to that Finish line.I hope the pics help Peter.

😂 it's looking good Gary even if you are no longer of any sanity.

Smart and if our Boy Martin hadn't said anything I never would of known.

Gary ...Martian just luvs playing whack a mole with you 😂

Some interesting schemes on this one.

Even for an old kit Kriss she will look really good by your hands!

Well it looks quite Nice Gary!!

Dennis definitely the Brits answer to the P-47.

Thks Fellas was beginning to think she was not measuring up seeing I seldom weather I am actually afraid of the process.I was going and looking at more pics of these planes were actually pretty well maintained but not that I saw some used/abused just not many.The LG are painted,Wheels and exhaust.

I have done a couple of these also and found quite compatible with the others in the cabinet ROG but I guess to each his own. The devastator is way down the list for me I prefer the AAC planes of the PTO a Corsair and maybe a couple of other Navy crates will hit the desk but just not enough color...pazazz

This is going slower than expected but I bit the bullet and did a weathering just sloshed the Tamy Brown and let it sit overnight.I think it will pass some areas on the side of the fuse R/side the future was thin and ate through in the sense the more I wiped the stickier it got and went "gotta fix that".I used a sponge and tweezers litely dipped in the respective color and all worked out just did not want brush marks.I usually go semi-gloss but seeing she's been a workhorse since D-day went dead flat.I am about to gloss black the LG(get ready Peter) and do the silver.I still at best guess another week of work on this one little stuff bombs and canopy and weathering the WW always more

Well here's to everything being on the mend and going in the right direction.

Now Gary I can be anal about my wood work some what but models .....nope.If it comes out nice good if it fails so be it now you know my solution to that problem.. f'it.

Still looking good Ernie!

That's alot of tape

I figured that Peter saw the info on the P-51 thread methinks.I know the feeling when momma had her knee surgery in March 2022 it was a rough patch for about a month.I think I have this one beat. The fuse was a beotch Mike straight and curved at the same time not perfect but I bet in the field it wasn't either.

You know Rob I can't say how much I have enjoyed this build up to this point already thinking what next?

The main decals have been applied stencils remain for another day.I also painted the prop just need to finish the blades.

The stripes are done had the minimum of clean-up.I am getting close to the event of decals but need slobber her with some future first.The WW's are for you Peter.

That is looking really Nice Bill and have a good holiday in Alaska.

Thanks Guys the wing stripes have been applied look like the DK Green in application spotty/faded on the white and with the Black I applied a Fl.Black spotty and then applied Nato Black on that spotty looks good to my eyes.I now have to do the Sky green to the tail and the then the stripes do pics when complete.

Anymore action on this one Kriss?

I like the looks of that came out real Nice!
