  1. Your joinery is superb. I'd lean towards a blue shade.
  2. That seat looks good enough to need all the safing pins and flags. Very nicely detailed.
  3. You may want to glance at both pages, since some drawings were re-done. And some a/g munitions had restrictions on rack locations. Some of the contributors are/were munitions loaders, so they have the info. Restrictions like for the Phantom, could not carry SUU-30 class munitions on the bottom location of the TERs and MERs. Ground clearance.
  4. It's looking good, OC. As you add more details, you can add additional weathering effects, if you think you need it. Too much weathering now and you'll live with it. Don't overthink it, mate.
  5. Interesting shot. That's some kind of "reacher" car to pull cars from the ferry without getting the engine onto the ferry. Next car is a baggage mail combine. Then two or three coaches, maybe unairconditioned, since there are no extensions off the clerestory roof. next to last car could be a food service car aka diner. Last car is first class, since it does show airconditioning ducts. And the shot is probably mid 30s or later, since that was when Pullman first installed airconditioning systems into passenger cars. I'm another model railroader who wanders into other aspects of modeling.
  6. Good tip, Craig. I have some slots in underframes I need to open up for brake rigging. And I do have a box of Swann-Morton #11 blades. Didn't realize they are thinner. Thanks.
  7. Didn't realize the tranny was bolted to the rear-end. Very interesting.
  8. Not familiar with this builder, but the decals look attractive. Will this be a Bomb Cat or TomCat?
  9. Interesting company, coming out of WKW. I'll be following your build.
  10. Another beautiful job, Rob.Thank you for sharing your techniques. 👍
  11. Isn't that the truth. Kit hardware disappearing into the 4th Dimension on Monday, found on Wednesday while searching for a different widget. 😁
  12. Looks like a lot of block walls around here. Keep up the good work, mate. 😄
  13. James, you can't go wrong with the Tamiya Corsair in 1/32 scale. The Cybermodeler site has a page full of references and reviews: https://www.cybermodeler.com/aircraft/f4u/f4u_all.shtml
