Beautiful build, John. The colors are terrific and a different scheme making it even more interesting. I also have had fits trying to get the spinner decals to fit properly, or even to mask a spinner so I'm impressed at your fine work. I see SB has Eduard's masks available, which is a case of closing the barn door after the animals have left...

Ok, I think (well, I KNOW) I'm biting off more than I can chew here, but here goes. I've had the Tamiya 1/32 F-4EJ kit for YEARS. Bought it at the Omaha Nats and also picked up the GT Resin intakes, all for $95! At Telford, picked up the Aerobonus (with pilots) and Quickboost ejection seats w/o pilot figures so I have a choice there. Had to add the Zotz Sharksmouth decal set as I've always wanted to build a Vietnam camo F-4. Plus a few other bits and bobs along the way. Looking for the Quinta cockpit set but it seems out of stock in the US. Probably going direct for that one. A BIG help will be the Top Notch camo masks. I have not quite yet decided on which aircraft to model. Any suggestions? Some of the sharks mouths decals may be damaged slightly, but I think they will be ok once applied. Still have to get the gallons of paint it will take to cover this bird. No clue when I will actually get started. But now I have motivation to get started!! Comments/suggestions are welcomed.

Scott, WOW, The nerve of her! And you were even working on the hot tub stairs. I tell you. Some people are just ungrateful! Speedy recovery for all I hope! -
@DocRob If I remember correctly, isn't EZ Line flat?

I love the AEG kit, and of course WNW is/was in a class of their own. For me, it is just all that rigging that kills me. I never felt like I could do those kits proper justice.

Phil, I think their Metal Range is terrific. VERY easy to apply, not a lacquer, and over a nice primer base the paint is very sturdy. Good luck! Chris -
Great work on the main gear legs, brilliant! Chris

Ack! I'm already a week late. Choices, choices, now that Peter is in with the F-14... Arrgh. I've been wanting to do a Vietnam Phantom for ages.... Still contemplating...

Guy, The oil weathering looks terrific. I know these boats were heavily used (and abused) but I like how you used the oils. Thanks a million for showing WHAT oils you used as well. Chris -
Cool, I've bought some of his canopies (Revell P-51D) as his clear resin is amazing. He's a good guy, too. Met him at Telford.

Scott, Where is the A-20 nose gear from?

Hold the presses!! I was emptying out the box and THIS appeared in the bottom of the box, under all the wrapping paper. Bonus!! (But wow, I was going to toss the box but decided to keep it to pack away holiday decorations. Whew!!) Even comes with insignia masks and a clear sheet (which will someone please tell me what that is for?) I'm already thinking of Baby Blitz II.... Christmas just keeps getting better and better!!

I'll give it a good think about what I should build....
