Tony’s work is always clean and neat. There is an advantage to having young eyes...

Tony, man that’s a lot of bench time in a very short time, your is so clean a precise and fast.......would have taken me a month a least to get the pit even close......

I think his wife leaves him unsupervised on the weekends....must be how he gets all that bench time.

Thanks guys.  My bench time comes because I don't currently have kids, and my wife is a nurse.   So, if I have a day off and she is working, I have 12 hours of free time.  I dont get many days off at the current job but hopefully a promotion this week will help.

[Peterpools]

Tony

Fingers crossed on the promotion coming through

Looking good. Coming right along. Do you plan to have the nose gun doors open?

No, I'll close them up.

[JohnB]

Okay. I was going to suggest something for the gun belts if you were going to have 'em open.

I thought about it, but I'm trying to focus on the areas I enjoy most which is painting and weathering.   That's why I'm not getting to deep in the weeds with the interior. 

[GazzaS]

Your detail painting looks great!  But I'm wondering how in the hell anyone can sit in those seats.

There is some minor progress on the 25, but nothing really to show.  I realized if I kept going on the big build I wouldn't have anything for next years local shows, so I decided to knock out a quick Wingnut build:

sounds familiar

Now that's a plan!

Keep 'em comin

Sweet Fokker!

[DocRob]

Strategic kit building, I love it . Nice looking Fokker and I understand why you chose it, my fingers start to itch, when they are near my DVII box.

Cheers Rob

I try not to build "for a contest", but I needed SOMETHING to take.  This will give me time to not rush the 25 and have it ready for San Marcos in 2020.

Thanks Peter.  Your the original gateway for me into Wingnut with the Fokker you sold me.
