  1. Welcome aboard! Where are you ex-patting from/to?
  2. I have found WAK to be one of the fastest and most reliable shippers from Poland, and with the lowest shipping rates.
  3. Excellent result, Bruce! The crew and catch add a nice dash of visual interest. Cheers!
  4. Hey, Halinski still intimidates me, and I have many finished models under my belt! BTW, which version did you get, Flying Tigers or RAF North Africa?
  5. Wow, great job! (I had to delete your tags, though. We don't use tags other than 'done' in this area.)
  6. Welcome aboard!
  7. I'm not sure what they applied, but it's supposed to replace some of the binding agents that are lost from the original pavement due to wear and exposure.
  8. First step in making the wings was adding the remaining internal frames. Each skin is a single piece, shaped, folded, and glued with the help of a joiner strip. Each wing structure is then slipped into its finished sheath. No fillets have been added yet. That's it for now.
  9. A bit more progress. I needed to take a slight detour and make the rudder so that I could confirm the positioning of the vertical stabilizer skin. Unlike many kits, the rudder has no internal framing. And then the vertical stabilizer was skinned. And that's it for the moment. Next up will be the wings' internal framing, but first I need to take a break and watch the Champions League final (I'm strictly a neutral for this match).
  10. Good luck on this project! I built the 1/100 scale Agassiz from Modelik many years ago. I also have the HMV kit of USS England on pause; it's another product of Agassiz's designer, Darius Lipinski. He has a few 3D-printed parts available for Agassiz at his Shapeways store. https://www.shapeways.com/product/AWDN9DUAN/agassiz-js-0005-upgrade-for-paper-model?optionId=62825248&li=marketplace
  11. Very nice! Proves the point that even these 'basic' sort of kits can produce wonderful results.
  12. Nope. My kit is already boogered, and I have no great desire to take a second crack at one.
  13. Coincidentally, the streets in my neighborhood got sealed today -- wife says they got the work done before the afternoon showers started. I'll have to see how it looks when I get home.
  14. Mike, you can start your log at any point in its construction.
  15. Yup. I like it, obviously -- great for more than just canopies.
