And here I thought A. you had used a pink primer or B. It was pink for breast cancer awareness during October. Your build looks good.

Yves, you described what the F-4 is. A refrigerator strapped between two J-79s, going Mach 2. 😄

Here is the set for your Hustler: https://scaleaircraftconversions.com/moreinfo.cfm?FROM=search&KIT=105 You might check on the bigger on-line shops. They may have a better price.

Don't rush. Your body will let you know when you're good to go.

Love the way the colors work. Red is always tough, but your pink base coat works well. And the seat harness looks great. 👍 -
Glad you're back, Denis

I'm in, too. I got to see a real one, back in the summer of 1969, at an air show. The beast sat very high off the deck, to keep the 4 J79s well clear of the ground. LG looked spindly, compared to the KC-135 it was sitting next to it. Noisy takeoff the next day.

You might want to get an inexpensive travel iron for your sealing technique. WW III might break out if the Admiral finds you using her gear for this.

Like the Doughboys attacking in their campaign hats.😉

An interesting figure, for sure. Caesar's friend.

Another neat critter! Sorta-kinda Renault-ish.

A toadus alonis? They're insect hunting for the winter. You have an urban camo one. Down here they tend to greens and browns. 😁

Railroad "empires" tend to do that. 😉

Yes, roughing up the surfaces of smooth parts, such as plastic, metal and resin, helps the CA grip better. Removing paints and oils help, too.

And I think they are carbide, so they're brittle. Using them in a drill press should keep them workable for your holes. Hand drilling with a pin vise will learn you some new cuss words. Been in that game, glad to be out .

For some reason, I get some old Talking Heads tune, "Burning Down the House", running around inside my head when I look at these explosions and fires in our models. 😁

Enjoy the feeling, mate. That little boat looks the purpose of reclaiming hard coal from the Susquehanna.

Nice work with those pesky decals. And the wolf pelt looks good. He'll look good at Mons Graupis, the site of the battle of the 9th Legion and the Picts. Nobody is sure where it was. Neither side left records.

Glad you're back, Brian. All the details you've been popping out really bring this boat to life. 👍
-
Good idea, bracing the walls of this kit. I brace walls in wood, plastic, plaster and resin. The bracing increases the available gluing area, along with the obvious strengthening. Yes, Blair Line makes some nice kits. Is that house the start of the "wrong side of the tracks"? 😄
-
Nicely done scratch-build. 👍 If I might add, since I've been zinged about this myself. Most structures should have some kind of foundation, lifting it above the terrain. Could just be planks of wood, running around the base. And some dirt, etc. just above the base. Mud splashes and green algae buildup.

Suitably decrepit engine; very nice.👍
