Thanks guys.

 

I applied the two Bobs decals yesterday. They went on great.  The only problem was there was not enough rescue arrows. I had to use the ones that came with the kit. Oh well. I'm applying future today, then dullcoat tomorrow.

Looking strong in the finish ....Would the lights be colored resin or painted after?

 

They are clear with red and green bulbs painted on the inside.

The Bone is almost done. I painted the bottom of the fuselage today.

The afterburner cans took me almost all week to build. They had 52 pieces each, but they look good.

I'm also trying to mold wing tip lights.

These are the Eduard Afterburner Cans.  It took me all day to assemble one.  I turned down a pill bottle to use as a jig, then started the assembly.  Each can consists of 52 parts.

I don't know if it has been mentioned already, I didn't scan the text, but if a fuel tank is carried in a B-1B weapons bay it should be up front, not in the far back.

 

According to Squadron/signal Bone B-1 Lancer in action, page 29, the 18,870 puond tank can be installed in any of the 3 bays.

Try some paint remover to get it off, then try a different primer.  I've used MM Gray primer with no problems.

Learned an important lesson today.  Testors All Purpose Spray Enamel Primer SUCKS. Bang Head It's been 24 hours and it will not sand.  It just turns into little balls.  You can't even wet sand it.  Something so easy has turned into a pain in the butt.  RANT OFFZip it!

Was the gap evident on both sides? And did the repair need equal work each side? Pulled outa the fire nicely.

 

The gap was only on the right side.  I could have balanced them, but the center lines between the front and center sections was not lined up.

"Gap" doesn't even begin to describe what's going on there but I can think of a whole list of words that would cause the nanny bot to burn down that might fit.

Rob cant believe I almost missed this thread, lookin good there guy. Those seems look, well, you know, huge I will be watching to learn how you handle them. I really like your model stands too, do you make one for each large build ?

The stand makes it a lot easier to handle a model this big.   I made on for the top as well, so when i turn it over, she'll sit level.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to handle the grand canyon!!!!!
