  1. That is looking nice!
  2. The weathering is fantastic!
  3. Thank You! I've been working on the fusealge to lengthen it. It appears that its short in two sections, one before the canopys windscreen and the other just behind the door. I am working that one out still. I decided to try my hand at opening up a couple of the inspections panels and add interest to it. This is FUN! I only wish I had a good camera! Maybe Santa will bring on this year. Only problem is I am NOT a good boy LOL! I started by drilling a few holes then cutting it out. Then i had A LOT of thinning to do. The a thin piece of styrene to "bolt" the panel to. I took more pics but for some reason they didnt show up in my mailing I have to fill the middle hole in the front. I got carried away with my new micro drills that Rick recommended!!
  4. James, Its definitely an honor seeing your builds, as others, on this site. I would never try the things I am if it weren't for yall. Than you for sharing so many talents in modelling world! Regards, Jon
  5. Ok, I usually dont show too much in here so here goes! Started working the wheel bays over by adding photo etch with some scratch building and thining. This picture shows the rough fit and added some rivets. The first shows how thick the original plastic is and the second shows it thinned and the styrene empty bucket in place. I'll be cutting more out of the bucket and add ribs and piping behind it to give it more depth! This shows some more phototetch added to the nosewheel bay with some scratch buitling tubing. Also, hard to see in the picture as this is with my phone, more rivets. love how they add to the buisiness of it all! More to Come!
