Very sorry to be gone so long. The flooring is in (Yay!) and got some new furniture, now its painting time. The project that never ends... And I tore two tendons in my wrist, on top of arthritis and tendonitis. However, did get the third camo color on the fuselage yesterday. FINALLY! But the painting starts tomorrow so another week or so of delay... Everything is dry-fitted at the moment.

Thanks Carl and Martin! I'm currently sitting in the only available chair, in a dark bedroom which is half done. Takes me back to my younger days when I didn't have any furniture! The previous carpet was over 20 years old (I moved in 6 1/2 years ago) so it was time to do something else. Now I have to figure out how to protect the floor from my painting! I think I'll be putting down one of those plastic carpet protectors that go under your desk. That should do the trick...

Strange aircraft!!!

Here we go... Same Floor, different light!

Ahoy Sailor!!! I used the flooring as an excuse to clean out the closets, and even (gasp) my model case. But now I have more room to display new models!!

These arrived last Thursday for install this coming Wednesday and Thursday, with any luck! So I'm shut down for a couple of weeks on the B-52 which is a shame as I was just getting ready to put down the third camo colour, then finish with the underside and touch ups...

Thank you, Gentlemen!!! I'm kinda having fun with the camo and would like to get the dark green on the fuselage tonight, but am having flooring put down Wed/Thurs of next week and I need to keep clearing out my rooms. Esp the hobby room! I thought I'd take advantage of the snowy and Icelandic weather (see what I did there?? ) but cleaning house has taken precedence. But I can't wait to finish this big bird!

Carl, Thanks! Love the MRP paints just about fool proof. The flooring is supposed to be delivered Thursday, and installed next week. I have to clear out my Hobbyroom/Office however! We got about half what you did where I am, but not too far west they matched your snowfall. Supposedly we are getting another storm this week but I don't see it forecast. It was 16C this morning with no wind. Tonight we are supposed to see temps fall to -21C windchill... THAT has been brutal. The wind just cuts through you. Can't have any exposed skin for very long.

I found this set of decals and will throw them into the box. A Bit o Lace. is the main aircraft. Missing are the tail emblem K.

Making progress! Have completed the camo on the wings and have put down the first color on the fuselage. The tape is getting ready for the second color. Attached the engines which are an exercise in patience since there are no clear mounting points. And where the pylon meets the wing there is a gap, and the single pin on pylon top for the inside engines was about 2mm off of where it was on the engine pylon. Will take a bit of filler I think plus I did some paint damage gluing the pylons to the wing so will be doing some touch-up. And, yes, this thing is BIG....

VERY VERY cool Jeroen! Esp the 3D printing of parts. Where do you get the files from to print or do you have a 3D scanner you use? Sorry if I missed this an you have already explained it.
