Ernie a little off subject but a nice video done by the government in 1944 the first ten minutes has a few of these HellDivers in along with some Hellcats.The HellDiver is a big frigg'in bird!! https://youtu.be/6RMBJG24yR0

Yes they are just about very little filler thus far Peter....surprise.

You do work Mike one would expect for commission and top dollar.

Scott not a big jet guy but she is looking pretty good thus far.I did a build of my son's plane he was crew chief to in Misawa Japan with the 35th FW made the decal numbers the pilot was Capt.Mogen(me) and I promoted him the TSgt on the other side of the canopy.I still got the kid working for me As to your truck I work at a parts house after doing seven years of auto machinist back in the 80's I order two tranny's was told a month wait!I finally gave up got a local guy to go through the 5sp had it done in in under a week.The first tranny came in at 6 weeks!!

Phil it looks good to me but I am mostly mediocre on most of my builds quantity over quality I guess

That's me to Gary but I am always looking to move onto the next kit and shrink the size of the stash.Now Ernie is going to have to live to be a thousand years old to finish his stash.I am sure that with whatever avenue you take the end result will be exemplary

Bill all is looking good Sir and thanks for that tip always had problems with getting them centered

John I was kinda iffy on the color scheme being all white but that is really pleasant to the eye!Looking forward to the decals getting laid down.

Mike I have been watching and looking in as with all your builds you are truly a Master at your craft of WWI A/C!Have you ever done something outside of the WWI?

Waiting with anticipation for the arrival of some paint looking really sweet thus far Jeroen

That's tough Peter but had something similar years back tossed it kaboom and I hope the last one it happens.

It is Ernie just the small work around on fitting the pit.Gun fairings done and hatch in place.

OK a couple more pics I have started cleaning up the fuse the wingroots look good have clearance from the copit tub and lower wing I cleaned enough off the lower wing.The second pic is the scary part dremel off the molded and insert the resin resin looks much better and realistic but I am going there maybe a little metal mg's? A pic of that gun panel ..............Martin?? One gun fairing in not bad at all.

The fuse is getting closed up tonight not much of an update have that feeling ready to move on.I had to cut the back half of the tanks to build this way just to much gap between the copit walls and the fuselage.I broke the rudder pedals off have to reattach not that anybody will ever see them a tight copit.FYI the tailwheel housing sat right on a pour plug has to be removed I think I have 35/45 sanding to get a good fit and paper thin in some areas .

Outstanding Work!!

All's looking good

Those crates look super Nice Jerry and yes the P-47 by Trump is one of their better A/C.I have one that needs to be finished and two more to go.

I like that!

Well thus far the pit on this one is not as corroborative as the PCM G-55I may take Alberto's method of gluing the sidewalls to the fuse,glue the IP and insert the floor just need to mark the inside of the fuse with a pencil later thought enough tonight.I am going to get there come hill or high water. My neighbor just brought a 14yr old bottle of Scotch GlenMorangie taste test tonight.

Mussolini like those trains running on time got to go also if I am not mistaken I saw an after-war interview of him late in his years?Seemed an interesting chap.

Tall tail wheel he like it for lift faster take off.

Just ordered

Well Well Well I am part of the club now.........Didn't Bellagambi have a mount in the G-14?Got the spelling of his last name wrong but found a sheet.The top one.Thanks Ernie!

It leaves the shop very little only the second time I know of it being on a street.The shop that owns it is "Gulf coast Exotic" they were trying to get Jay Leno to come buy and look at the inventory,I think he was in town Friday/Saturday?

That's looking quite the part Peter Nice looking Crate!!
