    Looking good!! Have you looked at the AMUR flaps? The oil canning is amazing.

    Ernie, Not sure if this thread will help or not. I have not hit all the pages, but I didn't see anything clear on the figure. Take a look at page 7 however. Research Assistance Requested - P-51D "The Deacon" - 21st FG (Iwo Jima) (hitechcreations.com) And this one, page 1 Lt. Charles Pfost - P-51D "The Deacon" (300) - 21st FG, 531st FS (hitechcreations.com) Chris

    From Facebook: Harv has a new chair and has been getting out of the house! Friday they went to a restaurant, with Harv getting practice driving the chair. Keep it up, Harv!

    Maru's cooking is fantastic! Not sure about cupcakes, but everything else!!

    Great idea and thanks for thinking of it and trying it out. Can't wait to see the finished product!

    One of my favorites too. Just wish there was a good kit of the plane.

    Yep! That looks like a Tamiya P-51D kit!! Great subject!!

    Enormously! I was starting to try and thread the HGW ones onto the metal buckles before cutting the buckles off, but not easy to do. These do look amazing thanks for sharing.

    Carl, Not sure how I missed this earlier, but amazing packaging. I had not seen those seatbelts before. Are they easier to put together than the HGW, or basically the same? Looking good. Chris

    These pictures are great!! I miss Miss America! Didn't know she was still around. Fantastic! Chris

    My favorite of all of the pictures: GREAT shot!!!

    What a beauty!!! And the perfect solution for painting the spinner. I have such a hard time painting those schemes. I have a circular template but did not have much luck with it. Seeing your work tells me to keep at it. Lovely photography, too! Great work all around and thanks for sharing! Chris

    Congrats on the recovery! She looks terrific.

    You are definitely working through this one pretty quickly, nice work! Question for you - why the choice to use the Revell Contacta Professional Glue rather than Tamiya Extra Thin? Just curious.

    Peter, this looks amazing and so quick!! Great start on the Sea Fury!
  17. CANicoll
    Amazing work! I'm just along for the ride, which is already fascinating. Thanks for documenting and sharing. Chris

    Rob, Beautiful work and lovely to have two amazing P-38 builds to enjoy, side by side! The NMF looks terrific and agree with Peter that the Master cannons were a smart addition - they figure so prominently in the nose. Sorry to hear about the spinners. Great job! Chris

    Peter, Simply stunning, as everyone else has pointed out. Regardless of Tamiya or not, you still put together a fantastic build - it doesn't just happen! A lovely bird all around and love taking close-up looks at the superchargers and cockpit photos - just beautiful!!

    Peter, Really nice work on the decals, and a mystery why the carrier film pulled up like it did. I was not aware of being able to pull the carrier film up at all so that was news to me. I've always done the traditional clear coat over the decals. I do like both the Tamiya and the Eduard decals. How many coats of clear gloss do you put over the decals? Overall, love the look of the P-38 in the OD, and those shark mouths. Beautifully done! Chris

    Ahh, ok. So a bug became a feature, only to go back to being a bug. In computer parlance. 🙂 Oh well. So, are you still using the Eduard decals or going with something else?
  22. CANicoll
    Carl, It happens to all of us but it does suck to put such nice work into that beautiful cockpit and engine and then have this happen. Sorry to see. But I'm with you! Chris
  23. CANicoll
    I will be VERY interested to see how this goes!

    Rob, really stunning finish! Love the work on the canopy and everything looks so very clean in the pics. Agree on the need for a absolute shiny and consistent base when doing NMF - you nailed it perfectly! Fantastic mirror image of the canopy in the wing on one of the pictures. That is high reflection! In the end, would you do the rivets again? The look on the P-38 is simply amazing. What polishing do you do on the clear pieces? They also look fantastic. Super job!! Chris
  25. CANicoll
    Rob, still looks freaking amazing under the gloss black! I may have to give it a go. Even under Olive Drab. How much of a problem was air under the rivets when you were laying them down, especially over the panel lines? Cheers, Chris
