  1. Sounds like you are panting the one in the garage Looking very Nice CD Kevin
  2. Last I remember was I might get some parts had to go read page two when they came in good for you!IThe crate is coming along nicely and see those years of hand painting miniatures is paying off. Kevin
  3. Thks for all the likes and comments fellas helps keep the mojo going at a slow part an area I am not the most familiar with "weathering".I don't want to over weather the crate but I am working layers on the wings.The right wing I would dust spray clear dust spray clear then I smothered it in the burnt umber sit a few and wipe.The L/wing has only been dusted thus far twice and the wings are not locked!The other thing it still a "Tail Dragger" after all that weight and two motors!!Not to worry I will fix that plan already developed.So I have not totally loafing off and found that the cowls were indeed a blue. She's a beast in size could not imagine a B-17 or 24 in 1/32
  4. Looking good OC do I remember Airfix?was looking at another build on another forum MKXIV something about the seat and rib#11 which I think is behind the seat a fit issue for some builders so check and check again before the fit of the two halves. Kevin Eduard which I think is Tamy sail on
  5. Yeah but when I look at it I am there and that you have to put yourself there also kinda like reading a good book. Kevin
  6. When I look at the build it seems it would be relaxing work? Kevin
  7. I think I leave it as is looks fine just like it sits.The process of staining the the deck any is going to lead back to the plane to give the whole picture harmony. Kevin
  8. trust me these type of bulds are few and far in between for me i like simple at my age. Kevin Thks
  9. Thks OC got the top of the R/W dusted and chipped the engine and leading edge then another very thin misted coat of clear it matches the top of the fuselage. Kevin
  10. Today has been decals,props and wash day.I made up a solution of burnt umber from a tube and thinner and started on the panel lines and just kept looking at the silver to bright/clean?So,I started with the tailplanes undersides liked the effect just enough lay down a coat wait about one minute or so and gently wipe witha smooth paper towel. The first pic shows the solution laid to the back of the bombbay door.Pic2 shows the whole side done.Pic3 shows the area behind the bomb bay untouched and Pic4 shows OD and decals all swapped down though subtle the decals are dirty now.I think when all done and in natural lighting it will all show. Kevin
  11. It shant be to far away in the near distant future the box is just about empty. Kevin
  12. Titled renamed the West was fun while it lasted Kevin
  13. You know OC they make a canopy glue almost like a white glue maybe like Gator Glue that goes on thick and have a q-tip ready(pointy ones Tamyia I like) damp it on the tongue and wipe.The glue fills those gaps for you you do not need it often but bombers seem to have more problems. Kevin Oh and a good save!
  14. Thks OC Last pics for the night engine done and L/LG together the parts box is getting empty Kevin
  15. The engine should be done tonight wanted to show a pic of the ignition wires as they go in only 14 more to do and 14 pipes out the back. Kevin
  16. Correct,the defects look to be from a mould that needs to be replaced and to many seriously and can bend and straighten them. Kevin
  17. Thks Lou,even though it's viral they gave me a big shot of steroids and antibiotics then on top of that pollen galore right now eyes feel buggy.What do think about the hand props look good enough to your eyes? Kevin
  18. Well I have not stopped working I seem to feel better later in the day so I have been working on props.What we have here is the kit prop,aftermarket which I do not care for and kit prop re-shaped.I think a little more shaping on the backside of the prop and it will be good to go still alittle fat.The after market props have defects in the face and are so frigg'in thin I can bend them so I cannot sand out the defects.The other problem if they go to rotate the blades will begin to move and flatten out possibly.I am about 50% through engine #2. So I paid $30 for some templates Kevin
