I play the same numbers every week so they are bound to come up at some point. Right? LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share 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. 🤪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 30, 2021 Share 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit concerned if mine would fit or not and it was a nice relief to find it fit okay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share 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". ☹️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
