One of those that got away let go I wish I had it back.I sold it to a fella in Quanitco VA back in 2007 for $1500 now you are hard press to touch one less than $3500+.I needed funds for the shop in the back ground it was sold in 24 hrs on a forum I belonged to that was mainly LEO affiliated.

Not a bad day it's progress all is just sitting in play.I have the torpedo cradles on the deck use a .015" wire at the top for the lock.I still need to touch up the armor for the cabin area and do some wood on the back of the cabin.I have one coat of an oil we get out of Vicksburg MS on the Paduak after I do the Roman on the edge will add one more.I am thinking of moving the 37mm from the rear to the center and place the Quad 20mm at the rear the normal location.The 37mm is going to look good after the right paint and 2 1/2hrs of building with all the PE pieces.

I have started on the base I am using Padauk https://www.bellforestproducts.com/padauk/ as opposed to my usual Sapele https://www.bellforestproducts.com/sapele/.The brass I ordered from Blue Jacket 3/16" slot I like using it giving a more traditional look/appeal.I grew weary tonight after about an hours work a little more just not going good/right said time to call it quits before I bugger it up.I did get a couple more PE torpedo cradles done but talk about a PIA but they will look Nice when compete big improvement over the kit.What I need is to obtain some more torpedoes I have four spots and only two torpedoes I then can either make depth charges or order from these guys next week closed till the 17th https://starling-models.co.uk/password This build is no horse race for sure somehow I figure their will be a point it comes together quite quickly.

Slightly disappointed on my Orange 1/72 German 20mm quadruple Flak 38 advertised with metal barrels and none in the box I have sent a message to the seller I will have to work with what I have no time to turn back move forward is the word all will be good in the end. It says "metal barrel assembled model" looks like my misunderstanding https://www.ebay.com/itm/195508396220

Nice Work James making me go one day back to the "Baltimore II" -
Thanks Peter got some more PE done this evening I rather work 1/350 than 1/72!I can hide mistakes in 1/350 not here and it's still small.I finished the assembly of the cab still a final paint and more wood effect.It's slow but progress.

That's the way I approached the Ki-9 Peter nothing fancy but to make a good representation.Sometimes life needs to be simple to enjoy it.
