Looking good Harv!

So Rowdy what's exactly the process for riveting? tape the line?using the recessed panel lines? it all looks really good nice and straight.Kevin

This one will quite interesting as it takes shape

I finally found my RB production belts at Sprue Brothers I ordered five all together with a couple for some Japanese AC also.I like HGW's but it takes me longer to assemble but only slightly better than RB's is it worth the extra time??I did find out that Radu walked away from the shop 100% back in march of this year to do more creative production/process more power to him I think the shop is down to CV-19.I need some American belts to which HGW may be the supplier there.Thks for looking in. Kevin

Dang it I liked his belts HGW are Nice but fiddly I could put RB's together quickly.Thks for the input maybe someone else has further info

I thought I give this one a go after doing some relaxing planes thus far I only have Eduards interior for the pit,some fabric seatbelts from HGW and some canopy mask(call me lazy) coming.I like PRU's and I am thinking of doing that one you always see in American markings now it took me forever to finish my HK B-25 "MMR" I am hoping this one goes a little quicker. I have a 1/32 KI-43 on the table painted and glossed just waiting on the right decals to finish her but have the pilots seat put together on the Mossie.I am still looking at some other builds of this kit seeing whats within my reach of further enhancements.Some of my other PRU's "lil Margaret" is in the middle all 1/48th. Kevin

That came out quite Nice John!!

Definitely looking the part Harv A question Radu still in operation? I was going to order some belts but the site is not opening up

Maybe I need some surgery all is looking good harv.I started on my HK 1/32 Mosquito tonight might post the build nothing like you guys just a few extras I go more for the exterior aesthetic qualities. Kevin

Boy you must be getting the full works on those harv Hope all went well

Holy crap!! Just luv the concept and workmanship

Now that's a Sweetheart! Beautiful and I am not a fan of the Cobra's but love the skin and markings

I don't see any warts but a mighty fine build I do see

I love the Mk24's and have the kit in the stash you got me think'in.............

Nice Work John!!

We need a bodafide trophy down in the corner!Mike you do some Nice work!So I take it this is a Copper model?

Harv who does the resin? I think I have this kit in a different manufacturer in the stash?This could and should turn into real looker when done.

Thks Guys have been looking at that kit for years and that paint scheme scared me off it was nice to finish it.I have already started on another 1/48 a Nichimo B5N2 "Kate"

I built this in the last four days as a Nice distract from details.I bought the kit in the 80's for $11 it appears by the tag on the box.I built it gear up seeing I had looked at this kit many many times and never followed through I lost an inner gear door.This is an OOB build with the help of a Supermodel stand donated from the spares box.Tamiya shows a very overall sparse paint/camo of green over grey like a late KI-61 but the boxart showed my scheme.

Between Hurricanes(Zeta) and work it's been slow going but I got a couple more hours tops in this one hope she measures up I will get better pics when complete.

Not often do the pieces just fall into play like today I kept rolling

I started this project years ago in 2011 with some input from Mr.Edgar Brooks with info/photos of the inside of a pit I did quite abit on the engine and the pit scratch wise.I had a small procedure done medical wise sometime back that laid me up for a couple of weeks and I thought lets finish some of the unfinished this is like #6 in the series and just to prove to you guys I do build .I had to make these stencils five time and repaint the fuse behind the canopy for I had the stars in the wrong location hence the reason for the full stencil.The first pick is the bad location of the band and star the rest from today.The orginal build can be found here if so inclined to look.Take care https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/1-24-mk-v-spitfire.28726/

Thks Guys!The wood working guys I am still teaching myself it's something I would like to make money at in retirement..............but some pieces take some time.The new cabinet I bought rough oak white and red and plane it down all in all $200 lumber $330 glass if I sold it 900/950.Last pic on wood work I had originally built this for my nephew who was the head coach at Indiana (baseball) it would of fit the house perfectly but now he's at MS State not at all.It's made of Sapele(African mahogany),maple,cherry and birch with inlays on the legs all mortise/tenon.

Not sure if this is the spot to put this or not but here it goes.I have not been building any of late for I have literally run out of room to house the project!So my other hobby is wood so a plan was put into place and completed in the last week.The wall cabinet I built 15 years ago had finally filled up the spacing on the shelves is 7" good for most 1/32 and 1/24 and that is the plan for the future.The floor cabinet is 5" spacing and has 1/48 and 1/72 those being two engine a/c mainly. The wall mounts have have 1/72 single engine for the most part.I am finishing up an old project a 1/24 MkV Spit now that the big cabinet has finally cleared out and then on to the 1/32 Kinetic Sabre.
