Well all's looking good Rob the machine you will learn the curve.The display is something you need to ponder I have seen some over here https://modelshipworld.com/ that take the build to a whole level sometimes.I admire the cases more the build but that's me and wood.

This has to be one of my Favorite paint scheme's out there for a P-51 I have integrated the Quinta P-51 for Tamiya as best I can it looks okay no Tamyia for sure but it will do.The IP worked out great the rest......?I am not going to have the gun bays open(?) and the engine was crap it's already in the trash I am going for aesthetics overall.So far the fuselage fit together great w/o that engine now.

Well be one day Kai had a snafu with the clear no bigee just said let it rest for awhile back to the Trump P-51 Tamiya Quinta in the pit working so far.

I like to get back to fishing out front in the Gulf Sea Trout and Red Fish only been once this year thus far.

Improve? Looking just right by these eyes,outstanding!

I think you might be right Rob going looking back at Martins pics even from the side looks like the cyl are in a tighter arrangement.Well it is what it is at this point of the came life goes on.The blades will be deployed.

Some pics of the paint guys and I have taken some liberties.The leather and metal band(steel) they would have you leave it all Azure Blue.The cowling was suppose to be steel went Aluminum Alclad .I am about to embark on looking for more pics for the final paint(small stuff) as far as wethering just some accented panels and a little more.

i am with you on the work of the deadeyes Rob I got into groove as you say when building up mine for the SS America which I really need to get back to ......one day.Keep it rolling looking really good.

We's...a waiting Phil wake up!

What a beauty Mike!

She is looking awfully good their Peter and I am getting that way about the Revell glue myself.

I think Ernie has been a little out of pocket of late.

I just saw that a couple days ago Ernie looking at some of their kits but I will opt to stay here.

I would if I had ever owned one Rob my line of work the phone is the last thing I want ever.Painting has begun primed with a silver nose while the pics show a blur-grey color the color for the rest of the fuselage is Azure Blue kinda bright.

I will remember that Peter so indirect light is what I am looking for?It might be my imagination but the office/model room of the shop got an LED overhang seems to lessen the details in the pics as opposed to the old neon?The camera is just an old Sony CyberShot 5.1 probably 15 years old still works for me but a stand would be nice see see a threaded 8mm(?) hole on the bottom.I use manuel inside with flash and Mac(?) outside has palm tree and one has mountains I'm a frigg'in idiot when it comes to photography.

Another exquisite result John!

Thanks Martin that first one looks like Fun!

It has been warm this week last day of it Gary Heat Index has been 110'/113' this week it was 105' today.I live right next to the GOM in Biloxi about 1/3 mile from the water as the crow flies.I do have paint I think(?) have never used it as an editor. I have used GIMP but they changed the program and be dam if I can figure out how to export out of the program.I will play with it some because cropping helps quite a bit if the pics are clean.

A little better pics at least you can see the dials which were individual decals my photography skills suck

When it's a possibility in the decals I always go French.My mother is 100% Canadian French we have paperwork on the Family back to France late 1500's early 1600's .

I needed something different to get the ole brain going so what I call somewhat an auto-gyro.I have been working this kit since the completion of the He-111 from ICM I have heard good things about MiniArt have to say not disappointed thus far.Well some pics I will be doing the box cover the most colorful... I will get a better pic tomorrow outdoors this one sucks but it's 10:15AM and the temp is already 94' with index of 102' later it will be 98' Index of 112'like yesterday frigg'in HOT!

Don't feel guilty you pushed me beyond my comfort zone.

Yes it took me a second to get heller out brain fart

I think you are right on that one Ernie I have heard from some in the UK that Heller tubs have gone to S@#$.I still have old cans that behave beautifully.

It's a bietch that happened on the tail John sure we will get it sorted out other than that she looks outstanding I'm still not buying one.
