  1. Hope you've got a good sea anchor. Some rabbit holes will get you turned about and lost for days. Better have some bread crumbs, Hansel! 😁
  2. Mike, how old is the kit? Age and thinness of the plastic could make for sporting builds, as does the lack of internal pins to square up parts in many limited run kits.You're doing commendable work here.👍
  3. I like the #2 base, with a bit of green under the bonsai base. Gives an impression of the tree growing out of the base. My 2 cents. 😄
  4. Lots of details in this kit. A new manufacturer or a subset of an older company looking to enter the armor market.
  5. She's definitely a soft coal burner, with that plume. Hard coal -anthracite- was a major mining industry on the east branch of the Susquehanna and was a major home heating fuel back then. When the US Navy was building dreadnoughts, they began buying hard coal to remove the giveaway smoke plumes, since there was a lot of it available.
  6. Your Comet turned out nicely, Phil. The weathering suits it well.
  7. Flattery will get you everywhere! 😁 I sure do miss the bird and the lifestyle. The jet was assigned almost every task under the sun and was considered a master of none. The ordnance flight manuals we had were the biggest ones by weight. We carried everything in the inventory that fit on a fighter, so the ballistic manuals had to match. Weren't too many parts of that book I didn't use. Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day. Remember the folks who died getting us to where we are today.
