Trumpeter/Revell P-51B done
KevinM replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
That really came out Nice John and who could hate a B/C model! -
I watched your "American Beauty" using the Revell P-51 short sweet good tempo on the music.I have to say your decals were way better than what Trumpter provided and more accurate!The only thing in that build was I could not tell the yellow on the wings to your yellow chromate all the YC I have ever seen or used has a ever slight green/dark tinge to it.I think other than that really a Nice Build oh try some Quintas Studios stuff it brings the pit to life.I am in to watch some more on YT.

I have another Inland on a Springfield forged receiver built up by Jerry Kuhnhausen with a pot belly stock and round bolt I pick up for $750 5/7 years ago it's a frigg'in tack driver.I bought it at his estate auction and these were probably his low end rifles family and high collectors got the others in private sale/transfer and I guess there was a minimum of 500 weapons for sale.He led a very quiet life but was one of the foremost Colt .45 guys in the nation and trained fellas to go work throughout the industry.Some of his books...... https://www.amazon.com/Jerry-Kuhnhausen/e/B00J05B82U%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share

So,this is were I am at the rigging is completed I tried quite a few times to get a sagging line that is not hard getting two next to each other do the same thing.I finally in the end went a taut line though one or two are to taut that area out front of the SS was a little of a PIA till I just backed off an maybe try Mike's idea about some sprue for curved line on Mogami.I knocked off some planes that need to be reattached and the decals for the stern with some touchups in paint.I have done better rigging but they were on smaller ships but it seems the Graf Spee came out quite Nice. -
Watched the first few minutes and subscribed to see how the channel is.I like to watch model channels and "What's My Line?" that show cracks me up with it's dry humor.😄

I found it.........https://www.jurawhisky.com/us/all-whisky/signature-series/12-year-old/ Jura From Islay, you can gaze east and see Jura. It feels like just a quick swim away. The small island is relatively wild and scarcely populated—fewer than 200 people live here. The island’s single road leads to its namesake distillery, the island’s only pub and one hotel. Author George Orwell once called the island “the most un-get-at-able place.” He wrote his dystopian novel 1984 while he lived in a farmhouse amid this idyllic backdrop. In the late 1950s, two landowners, dismayed at the island’s declining population, hired William Delmé-Evans to build a whisky distillery. He went to extreme lengths to ship in unusually tall stills, which are believed to produce a lighter distillate. According to Graham Logan, distiller manager for Jura, working within Scotland’s smallest distilling island community helps to make the whisky unique. Photo by Dan Kenyon “The reality is that living on a remote island, in a small community of about 180 people, means everyone has to work together,” says Logan. He would know: Logan worked more than two decades alongside former distillery manager Willie Cochrane, a beloved figure who retired in 2016 after a 39-year career. Logan started out 25 years ago, when he manned the stills and mash tubs, and worked his way up to distillery manager. When he first set eyes on Jura, Logan was aboard the HMS Liverpool during his time as a marine engineering mechanic in the Royal Navy. Little did he know that his father had accepted a job on Jura, and that he’d soon call it home. “For two centuries, whisky has been our only major export, and the distillery is the main driver of tourism,” he says. “It takes more than barley, water and yeast to make Jura 10. It takes an island.” Try This Jura 10 Year Old; $55. The distillery’s newest bottling is an easy-drinking dram. Time in former Bourbon and oloroso Sherry barrels means that lip-smacking hazelnut, coffee and cocoa take a starring role, and it all finishes with just a mild puff of smoke.

Alan I only drink Scotch and not to particular to whether Scottish or Irish but my neighbor got out at the BX on base some from a small Island on about 200 people were the refinery was just revived.I think it came in a orange sleeve and boy was that some smooth stuff .I typically have 2/3 drinks with blend and finish with some good.My neighbor treats me like his son and drops off a bottle of single malt about once a month sometimes I have two or three bottles just a waiting.

No Meme and New to me ...... An elderly man in Queensland, Australia, had owned a large property for several years. He had a dam in one of the lower paddocks where he had planted mango and avocado trees.The dam had been fixed up for swimming when it was built and he also had some picnic tables placed there in the shade of the fruit trees. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam to look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a ten-litre bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his dam. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.One of the women shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave.' The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the dam naked.' Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the crocodile. Moral: Old men may walk slow, but they can still think fast.
