DON'T DO THAT!!! WE CAN FIX IT!!!

What he said!!!

Maybe put it in Aircraft Limbo (a nearby shelf) for a few weeks/months and then remove the paint and do it "right".

	Sean, what have you been up too!!!! Probably drinking torpedo juice with Bondo over in the FAA GB while you were trying to paint. Please don't give up. Take a deep breath and suck it up. It won't look so bad in the morning. If all else fails, stuff it in the box with the Gooney bird and ship it North. Dave

Re: ME-262 Stormbird GB 10/09-3/10

	Thanks for the support - but I feel this kit is not worth the time to strip when I can build one of the numerous 1/72 Me 262 kits I have on hand... Torpedo Juice eh ? I thought that was laquer thinner that ended up in my tin coffee cup Oh yeah the resin whells showed up today hahaha Sean "I've reached nearly fifty years of age with my system."

	In 1/72 the Hasegawa kit is a definite low point compared to the Revell one. The molds have about 50% of the detail of the R. I don't know the provenance of the Hase but it's not very good. Dave's model was a real work of art because of his painting skills, but I didn't much like the bones of my S-92 kit.

	I don't know why I did this, I really don't. Slams head to floor, needs to pay the power bill. Anyhow, because FRANK is asleep at the switch, I went out and got tipsy and bought.... this: justification being that since Bondo little Nazi nasty subjects modeling does not: ITS A FREEKIN PROTOTYPE. Thankgodit were cheap

	Bondo, that will be a very nice addition to the GB! I too prefer the Revell kit except for the canopy. I only suggested the Hase kit for the markings. Sean, What's up with the new avatar???? Isn't that Hoss from Ponderosa? Must be a Buckaroo thing eh? Dave

His name was Dan Blocker, and he was a John Wayne stand in. Most notably he was to be Major Kong in "Dr. Strangelove", until the director, S. Kubrick, found "Slim Pickens".

Re: ME-262 Stormbird GB 10/09-3/10

	I'm going to make a slight change to my build. Still going with the C-1a but going to do the Academy kit instead. This is only because it already has the tail section removed. Though the tail will still need a bit of work as the cutout section doesn't look right and neither is the streagthing band. I have almost finished my Ostwind, so once thats done i am onto the 262.

	Sean- Send that Stormbird this way, I'll strip it down for ya! Lots of practise at that I have. Cap'n Bondo- Oh boy... what have we done to you? A 262 prototype with a prop on the nose, tell us more! I wanna add it to page one. Where on Earth did you find that kit? Bish- I updated your kit to the Academy kit. Frank

High Planes models, 1/72 Me 262 V-1. The first prototype. In addition to the version in the piccie, it also has a set of wings with jet engines to build the second prototype. A tri-motor!

	Blimey got some more anonomus 262's! Where is the love I say! Where is the love! Bondo of the Captain one each issue that is a cool and yet odd kit? To find such a model shows a certain level of obcession and virility! Speaking of which where is Guy at now? How be the XO? Heard he was injured in another misadventure. Was mistaken for a mud wrestler during Halloween! Shouldn't have been wearing that nbikini! CPT Aaron McNeal

Re: ME-262 Stormbird GB 10/09-3/10

	In the home stretch now, stickers applied. I've done some post shading with Tamiya Smoke and Buff. The Extratech decals were horrible to work with, tore very easily and didn't want to move once applied. I had to put a patch of red primer over the port side "2" to cover up where part of it came apart. We'll call it battle damage from a scrape with a Lancaster's tail gunner. I used a 50/50 mix of Pro-Modeller Light and Dark for the underside panel line wash. I know a light wash really isn't accurate, but I like it from an artistic standpoint. My package from Squadron arrived today with my vac-u-form canopies so should have her done in a few days. aka Mike, The Mikester My Website His lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy. -Woody Allen

Roger that Cap'n! List updated. Thumbs Up [tup] I am very happy you are gonna stick around for another. I am really jazzed to see that prototype here!

Sarge- Misadventures, you got that right! Busted arm and broken ribs, no building for me for a while! Looks like I will be doing admin work for the time being. Sigh [sigh]

Mike- Outstanding work! Your AB mottling is top shelf my friend, top shelf! Looks great with the little stickers on. Big Smile [:D]

Admit it Frank...you were trying the Britanny Spears dance/moves when the arm broke, yes?
