I play the same numbers every week so they are bound to come up at some point. Right? LOL 3
JohnB Posted August 30, 2021 Author Posted August 30, 2021 Still working on this one. Sure does look like it was their "B" team that designed it. It appears I'm coming to a enforced delay since the exhausts and canopys haven't yet arrived from England. I won't be able to join the fuselage halves until that stuff shows up. š¤Ŗ 2
Peterpools Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 John Just take your time and go slow. Waiting for the AM and not rushing things is absolutely the way to go. You could always work on a build you have on hold, if you have one. Keep 'em comin Peter Ā 2

Nearly everything is ready for the fuselage but until I get the AM stuff I'll have to set it aside. I have several "on hold" I can choose from to take up the slack so we will see. 2
Peterpools Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 John Just saw your update on the Corsair - good call Keep 'em comin Peter 2

JohnB Posted September 15, 2021 Author Posted September 15, 2021 The new canopy and exhaust parts from Aerocraft Models arrived today. Really nice stuff which will enhance the model no end. But, right now, I'm working on the SH P-39 so the P-51B will have to wait a bit. 4
JohnB Posted November 13, 2021 Author Posted November 13, 2021 Now it's time to resume work on this one. The replacement clear parts and exhausts from Aerocraft Models will go a long way towards making this a nice model. 6 1

Bomber_County Posted November 14, 2021 Posted November 14, 2021 Interested how is builds up, has anyone done a C conversion set?Ā 2

JohnB Posted November 14, 2021 Author Posted November 14, 2021 I think it's time to put this SOB aside again. I'm just not up to dealing with this type of headache. I'll return to it "later". ā¹ļø 3
Peterpools Posted November 14, 2021 Posted November 14, 2021 John The absolute definition of a bad fit ... horrendous at best. Any thoughts now as to your next project? Keep 'em comin Peter 2
