Glam pix tomorrow ....not all plain sailing ....that moment when you get the weight in the nose is not enough ....despite putting in the advised amount ..

Cracking build again !

Whats a gym ?

More 48 armour ...well another one . I've the new Tammy Austin K2 in 1/48 on the way as well when it gets released next month . Also an Airflup re pop of the Academy Grant ....nope..... no idea why I bought it either ....late night wine fuelled shopping in the bargain section of Jadlams ....🙄

No ....not an axe .....for years I've been using these adjustable pliers from Bahco . Official name "BAHCO 8" EXTRA WIDE SLIP JOINT WATER PUMP PLIERS - 8231" There about $30 or there abouts , adjustable, and have removed lot of stuck on screw on lids, paint , superglue etc . Can even be used to tighten up plumbing fittings if. you're out of zone !

Me too ...I also like the Canadian Zip Ties and Bias Plies channel ...plus AvE of course ...and British Muzzleloaders .....so much good stuff comes from so little summer .

Thanks Dennis. I think that's what I did on the phantom , sort of both of best worlds . 👍 This B25 is tricksy though !

Whats the thoughts regarding painting canopies - attach then paint or paint then attach ? I used to paint the canopies then join .....then I found it was better to get a really seamelss join and then paint ...but recently have had issues with this method so curious to know what works for you .

Disaster .....clearing off the tape I noticed that silver spray had got in under the glass... & thinking well.... it's only held on with Kristel Klear....I tried gently pulling it away ...till it broke .... Glad the model came with three canopies - albeit this will be incorrect, it's better than having none .

Lovely - wouldn't guess that was 144 scale at all .

Some more 1/4 scale armour , I liked doing the Jadgpantherette dio , thought I'd have a crack at some others .

So sad, I know this pain .I'm sorry for your loss 19 years is a good long life for a cat.

Looking damn fine here , 100% admire all the extras you've taken time to design print and build .- thats well out of my wheelhouse .!

Sadly it's Disney ....he will become her ..a transgender hero, then embrace Islam and adopt a black orphan . As for that jet and climate change ..oh my my .. It's all about the pandering folks ...

I like owning a Silhouette cutter, Max ( Mozart) suggested I get one a few years back and though I don't use it a huge amount it is satisfying not to be dependant on large decals at time . Used Araldite two part epoxy adhesive to fix on the tailplane and the wings as it's a lot stronger and robust than CA or Styrene glue , and this things heavy . Rock hard in 5 mins too . Thats all for now . Weathering so far has all been mechanical , scrubbing with 3000 pads, using X-20A and micro fibre cloths. It's a bit of an experiment for me , as the plain olive drab for me is really boring to look at. Probably a bit OTT for a Doolittle raider but we will see where this goes .

Yup .....with proper auto safety features, the parents of this child would never have conceived him .....

Bit more movement , complete the fuse mostly. Academy give you a bunch of masks and numerous canopies, which would be handy if you mess one up and could live with the slight difference. AM seemed so close to making a J model looking at the sprues , just need a modded fuselage from what I can see . So black for the frames ...then aluminium all over ..then olive ..... Wing fit is good so reckon complete most of this and join them towards the end .

Ok time to pick this one back up and complete another SOD . To be fair two days after the last post in this thread we moved home ...which stopped play for about 3 months, so it was more "there are no shelves to put anything doomed or otherwise"

I must say that type of modelling doesn't spark joy for me . Link n length, metal..... ever decent wubber bands ....but no way will I countenance numerous pieces just to make a link .

wowsers you've been busy .....that certainly puts the Revell Spit in it's place !

Sticking a fork in this one . Overall ....ok-ish ...this old Hasegawa (2003) is not a slick as the older tool from them for the Phantom (1987) . Personally not convinced with the gun smoke staining but in the end with was a practice job to try out MRP paint and continue with OPR practice. Make you realise what a big bird the Skyraider was . All this leads up to the final model of the Vietnam 3 .....

Cheers - I later found this pic where they look a biot higher ?? so no sure at all now. Im aware the French ones apparently went higher because their carriers were smaller. The Navy seem to keep their planes cleaner than the Marines as well lol !
