Wow Anthony, you sure are dedicated. Looking forward to some pics!

And yes to all, I would like to start another one in the fall. I haven't decided on dates yet but will let you know. Smile [:)]

Well Jay, if (and it's a big if) I can keep myself from over commiting to too many other GB and if life can calm down a bit in the fall I'll pull out my lancaster for the next one!

Anthony It's nice to see you have'nt given up looking forward to more picks.

Jay the fall sound good to me work usualy slows down by then and I'm more motivated to work on my builds. I have a CH 135 that would fit nicely.

Currently I only have three models and they are all commited to other builds, this is a goo dexcuse to go get me a new model or two! Big Smile [:D]

I'm thinking of doing Hammy Gray's Corsair. I was going to do that for the Carrier AC GB but I have over commited to GB's and bailed out of that one, besides I never did end up buying it.

Hey guys, I got an update Big Smile [:D]

I was able to spray almost all the black areas (nose tail etc...) and dam is she looking good! Regretfully I can't post pics, my dad took the camera on a trip with him and I won't have it for a few days... In the mean time I am going to allow the paint to dry 24-48hrs, then do the rest of the black, then decals!

Update! I got my home made decals on, and it's done, just need to gloss coat her, should do it tommorrow! Can't wait!

EDIT: I just sprayed a coat of future on it, and now just sprayed Testors gloss coat on it and put it outside to dry. Once dry I will put another and continue to do so until I get a nice shine! Big Smile [:D]

Will post finished pics soon!

Anthony.
