*groan* almost all my paint is enamel... maybe it's time to switch back to acrylic...

Oh, by the way, how does your tamiya HG airbrush work for you? I have enough holiday dough, and i'm wanting to invest in an airrush...

Excellent work Donna!! My wife's first model also kicked the carp out of my first one...she did a P-26 Peashooter and the paint job was excellent-- she blames it on all those years of doing nail polish

Wow! Great build Mrs Allan!

I wish my other half would take an interest in the hobby. Allan, you're a very lucky guy.

dear Donna; dump watsisname and marry ME! You are a rare treasure! Two thumbs up on the '47.

great job, my wife just told me she wanted to do one now. thanks for posting your pics and influencing other women. off to the hobby store

Allan tell Donna it is nice to see another Mrs building! Hello from Betty.
BTW looks GREAT!

In behalf of Donna, thanks again for the compliments!

Shrikes,
I got the trigger type HG. And I just love it! Very durable, easy to clean and looks mean. I highly recommend it. I have the standard Tamiya airbrush too. Offered it to Donna for use in the P-47 but she gave me that stare and a raised eyebrow and... well, you know what that means.

Tango,
Yes I am lucky. She cooks well too (I just hope she doesnt give it up for full-time modeling, otherwise, its scrambled eggs for dinner).

R. beamont,
Why you ...! She's got her downsides, but she is indeed a treasure. Thanks!

Mrs. Dj,
Ive told her about you and showed her your work. In fact, that was a big factor in convincing her to post the pics here. She was just too shy. Thanks!

I am glad Donna let you post her pics, I hope she continues to build and either lets you show us her work or signs on and shows us herself!


Betty

allan- don't forget, her downsides should be neutral gray or natural metal!

Not to steal Donna's thunder-- very nice job again Donna! I just wanted to show off my wife's 1st model as well-- I thought she was pretty brave to tackle rigging her first time out...

It's not in the right place at Ron's site right now-- just look for Mrs. Jeeves 1st model- a P-26 Peashooter

Mrs. Dj,

She really wants to build more. And she is building. Right now though progress is quite slow with little Mikhaila around.

Jeeves,

Thats pretty impressive. Very nice! Id have posted the pics directly here, but I thought youd better start a new thread so the others can see. Great job, Mrs. Jeeves!

Do I sense the start of a ladies' model club?

That looks great too. I wish my first had turned out anywhere near as well as those I've seen lately. I wish my current project will turn out nearly that well. Jeez. Keep up the good work.
