Hello Rick!

Nice progress here! I hope you will be able to fit that bottom plate better - it's actually a nice feature, because it allows the bottom of the fuselage to be as nicely detailed as the sides. I also think you should dry fit the skids now, so as to avoid problems later. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your build, have a nice day

I went to the Dr . I have the correct meds now .. 

 I reworked the top cover to fit the profile , looks good .Pat on the back .
Rick 

 I did the best I could on the landing gear plate . I may go around the gaps with perfect putty this weekend . Looks ok for now . Im off to bed 
Rick 

Day 4 had bad night last night , I do feel things breaking up in the chest . If this starts clearing up I hope to feel much better . Anyway I took off work again , I sprayed one lite coat primer , II let this dry . I applied Perfect putty over landing gear seem . Not trying to fill the seem , just improve the look . I love Perfect Putty for this reason .
Enjoy 
Rick

I cleaned the perfect putty , now I'm ready to prime the area

Enjoy
Rick 

 I have the bottom prime Thats it for today . I have the front seam to fix . No Biggie
Rick

After reorganizing my work area it drained me . I went to bed for 4 hours . Good Lord I hope tomorrow gets better . Yesterday I did apply Mr Hobby 500 Primer over the front landing gear seam with tooth pick . This 500 is almost like thick liquid body filler . Today I Sanded the primer down and sprayed couple light coats of primer . Looks very good

Hello!

I sure do hope you'll get better soon! That front seam looks a lot better now. Let's just hope it won't re-appear in a day or two - surfacer makes that to you sometimes... Now the side seams could use some treatment too!

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Rick 

 I have little update . I have the bird painted . Little lite on the color but thats OK. I started to paint some trim and add-ons .

Rick

Thank you All

Enjoy 
Rick 

I have the Alclad Aqua Clear applied and finished the decals today . Tomorrow evening I will spray couple more coats of clear for weathering
Enjoy
Rick

 I sprayed couple more coats of clear over decals the other day . This evening squeezed little 502 artist oil on cardboard . The cardboard draws out some of the oils , this will allow the oil to dry faster . Then I applied the wash over the body .
Enjoy
Rick 

I finally finished the Revell H145M LUX build 
I highly recommend this kit . 
Paints Tamiya 
Clear Alclad Aqua Gloss Clear and the last clear Matt Alclad 
Lite Weathering Mig oil

Hello!

That machine is lookin' good! Nice job! The kit seems indeed to be very nice. If it had something to do with Vietnam War I'd build it myself! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day
