It's all good John, I was just being a punk as usually . I forgot to ask, did you choose the aeroplane/marking that you're gonna make? 

Cheers

Brain fart Martin. LOL Not for sure just yet but it will be a -3E. Maybe this one.

 

[Martinnfb]

Nice! 

Here are few more interesting pics.

Cool pics Martin. It will have to be a version with the tail hook retracted into the fuselage as I've already done that on the model. So the external hook version won't work.

Radar pod done.

Hmmmm, sometimes my extended use of Tamiya extra thin rears it’s ugly head...

Nice scratching of the radar pod. Always a great moment, when everything is prepared for the painting stage. I will follow closely, because the TBM had always been on my mind, but not in my shelf , maybe that's about to Change.

Cheers Rob

Thanks. I'll hit it with a overall gray primer then start with the GSB. STILL undecided on which a/c!

[JohnB]

Finally decided on which a/c. Fills the bill perfectly.

John,

Buddy, this is looking absolutely amazing!

[JohnB]

Thanks Ernie. I'll be glad to finally get the GSB on it.
