But I already promised SWMBO a floaty thingy.  After this current build.... (but I think that the guns and motive power is not going to be what she expected)

And SWMBO is much more powerful than the Borg.....

Point taken!!

This is when I'm happy mine shows no interest in my modelling unless it cost too much in one go😖

Thank you Craig 

[Canute]

Your SBD is coming along nicely, Edward. 👍

 

Lou, they were more interested in the operating doo-dads, like the operating bomb drop or folding wings. But, I think I built most of those old Monogram kits.

You are right Ken. But so was I, I dropped many a bomb and it never hit the prop because of the fork under the wing. A one by six was my aircraft carrier and my whole back yard was my ocean. I think I built all of them as well, but I can assure you that they did not look as good as this one.

Nice painting and progress Edward

Sorry Lou meant to say thanks when posted earlier😕. As to painting all with brushes so I'm rather happy how well it turned out😁

[Edwardkenway]

This is new to me, off work while the sun is shining 🤔

Anyhow done a bit more fitted and glued wings, also rear wings. I think before I go any further I'll get some colour on it, just the bottom colour which according to the paint guide is an off white but the one I've got is satin white. We shall see next time.

Thanks for all your comments and likes, and stay safe!!

Cheers 😁👍

Go on, as @Egilman has found out "resistance is futile "

I'll look forward to what you go for, but you got to carry on with your P40 also!!😉

don't be like me though.......I'm stuck in B 17 mode ...........I obey.....therefore I build.  I'm going to break the chains after this one,  and hit the B 25 circuit

Seriously, the wife is going to give me the askance eye and eventually ask about her boat.... But I'm strongly leaning towards the Revell 1/32nd scale Corsair..... I suppose it will fit on my shelf if I fold one of the wings......

I'm being corrupted by great modeling......

Jedi mind control would come in handy right now

You guys are seriuosly tempting me to drag out the Testors 1:48 scale AC-130 Gunship kit from my stash. I got it decades ago shortly after I built the Testors 1:48 scale C-130 Cargo plane, measure 25 inches long with wingspan of about 37 inches, give or take. Was going to build both until I realized I had no place to display it.   The Borg are calling

I don't know about the Borg but now that you have let the cat out of the bag that you have a 1/48 C-130 in the stash you are obligated to get on it. That is unless you show us your entire stash. In which case we will pick your next build. WE are MUCH more powerful than the Borg.

Hahahaha !  Knew you would take the bait, Lou ! 

 

Actually there are only 4 un-built aircraft kits in the stash, all 1:48 scale, and 2 of the 4 are huge. It's not the -C130 cargo, Lou,  but rather the Lockheed AC-130A Hercules Gunship.    But then I do have veto power .  Patience my friend !

Yep  that would be good.

Both models finished are 2 ft in length, OC, takes a lot of bench space, even more to paint it....... have to do some thinking on this. That's why they are  stll in my un-built  stash.
