Still at my conference in Jacksonville.  On a break and was happy to find the the internet connection was finally up and running.  So needless to say... no progress.  But I see everyone else is doing just fine work.  Found 2 LHSs within 15 mins of the hotel... I am going to check them out tomorrow.

Nice job Barry.  and Congrats on the first completion in the build.  When I get back i will update the webiste.

Barry, great job on the P-39.  I like the weathering myself.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone elses are looking good too. this has been a blast, I did forget to put on the exhaust stains, maybe in a couple days.  thanks again can't wait to see them all finished. Barry

Nice weathering there.  Looks like the plane has been at the Front for a bit of action.  Not sure, but didn't Russia have a Red Star on the top of each wing?  I realize that you may have copied a plane that didn't, but just asking.

thanks, I thought it was odd that there were no stars on the upper wings but what little documentation I could find on this particular plane showed no stars. Barry

I think it looks good. You could always add stars latter if you want them. I built a yak 3 a while back and the references showed stars on the sides and the bottom of the wings. Of Coarse this is not a yak 3 so.........oh never mind.

Fantastic working going on here! I'm gonna squirt some paint on another project tomorrow and while it dries I think I'll get going with this build. My unplanned trip into Mustang obsessionville cost me much time and many, many moons spent on things other than this group build. I'm itchin to get at it!

A bit more work done. Canopy is on, although the fit wasn't too hot, not sure what happened. It looks good on the left side, but the right....not as good. Ended up using a bit of filler there. Fuselage and wings should go together soon, although test fitting has revealed that there will be some filling at the wing/fuselage joint.

Yes you forgot to mention this to the West Coast Office... Or, did you put that in the company Memo last week? Seems my cat ate it for lunch before I got the opprotunity to read it

I would like to say that we are glad to see Marc has returned safely from the conference & Thad has graced us with at least 1 photo (better than none I s'pose) showing he is making an attempt at progress

Now Dave... Git 'Er Done!!!

West Coast Office will be closed until Monday.... Need to bomb the place...  Seems the East Coast sent in some critters attached to the last memo
