  1. Splendid work as usual Mike.
  2. Nice looking kit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpFtPy9HOhs
  3. It's looking good Gary and the funnel looks just fine.
  4. Rigging gives a ship life also but we'll take it as is.I have so many kits I want to start Rob like the Mk IX from Tamy got a little itty bitty motor that can do 32K RPM's @4.5v but I have some nice potentiometers to fix 32K.I then as you know have the ScharnHorst in 1/200 finally getting all my little goodies in the last month.What am I to do
  5. PW that's suppose to be a decent kit(AM) back in the day and nothing like a B-25 roaring and getting ready for flight.
  6. I hear ya Neil I still visit to look not much in the way of commenting but do at times.
  7. Well you did a fine job Rob like the characters about the ship giving it Life my only complaint is a different color backdrop to see the rigging.
  8. I agree Peter!The Airshow was pretty good not enough vintage A/C but for the first one since 2019 I'll take it.The CAF had a few planes and had brought along the Tora brigade and was really pretty cool I thought I was watching the Movie.The sound of a double row of Radials is just something to love and the B-25 "Yellow Rose" did it's part,The Mig-17 I have seen it before but was a screamer today.The event then moved from the flight line to the beach GOM @3pm for the Thunderbirds I got some good parking about 1 mile from the main spot and sat on the boardwalk on the beach with literally thousands of other people .......frigg'in Nice!!The TB's when sideways over the GOM about a mile out even though white looked silver in the sunlight..cool.
  9. I thought I drop a pick before the airshow today at Keesler.The LG assembly according to the instructions was poor without clear indications of the manner position said pieces.I found it necessary to build the A-arm on roof of WW and move out from there.The instructions had one build the whole LG outside the WW and position just did not happen I had to disassemble the first and start over being wrong.The engines are basic.The nacelles around the engines again poor instruction to locations via pics presented.I found it best to assemble everything to the lower wing,install engine/WW,assemble wing and build the upper Nacelle into place.I still needed filler but nothing major.The fit of the wing looks good thus far what you see Now is not glued.The LG final assembly was the high point of this area and to me very Nice and strong.
  10. Looking forward to those results Phil!
  11. So it starts do we get to see the IP?A very interesting subject Rob.
  12. Really looking good there this kit seems to fall together....Nice!
  13. Looking good Peter and I take it that's Quintas?Finding it hard not to use them.
  14. It's called honoring your word and I agree with Peter once the kit decals hit the water more will come.
  15. Got it off Amazon $88 -$13credit=$75 plus free shipping.
  16. That's it guys done for the day good progress happened.
  17. Yeah Peter this plane just falls together the fuse is already buttoned up might might take 10/15 sanding and polishing maybe.I am about to build the weapons bay in the nose and on to the engines not doing anything fancy since it will be buttoned up.
  18. The IP is in getting time to close the fuse this evening.
  19. I was not aware of any issues but Dragon can be that way at times.
  20. I have been working this one over since I finished the Tigercat .The copit has taken some time paint is Mrhobby lacquer(seems a bit green for RLM02) and the dressing is Quintas liking these guys more and more.I am not far from buttoning up the fuse all in all probably 20hrs in this area when said and done.I still need to finish the cannons underneath the radio area.The fit looks good thus far right were it should be got to get some lunch 1:30 now been at it since 8AM.
  21. I wish Martin I had done better but it came out good enough to not hit the waste basket
