ooops - looks like P38jl's enigma machine is intercepting transmissions from the nearest McDonalds drive-thru.

ronald mcdonald has left the bench....repeat...ronald mcdonald has left the bench.....

and thanks for all the love you have shown towards my Ho....and Manny,,,,if you marry my Ho, does that make me your father in law??? .....disturbing....

The mottle was free hand...no stencil....after stuggling with my double action AB I threw it to the curb and whipped out the trusty ol' single action....thinned the paint with laquer thinner (about 40-60) dropped the PSI and worked really close to the surface...sometime about 1/2" or less...I found that by adjusting my finger pressure on the trigger I was able to get a real fine line...much better than the double...

Now some decals...oh and I need to mask and pain the canopy too...

Very nice Carlos! Love the spots...very North Africa looking.

 

Manny,

Don't you know you never marry an HO? They are hard to see what they are up to using a radar, they are too fast to keep up with, and occasionally they like to slam trees

Wow!  Superb painting.  Was that free hand or did you use some sort of a stencil?  Either way, beautiful job.  Bow DownWow

 Manstein's revenge:

 

 

Hmmmmmm...your field-agents are cheap. 

 

Mine was delivered via a fiesler storch.  It came in low about 3am over my compound and out came a courier satchel weighted down with a bag of cat-litter in it.  It landed on my veranda causing $229 worth of damage...

 

Uhh, did it look like this one?

See! I do build things. Eventually... (And yes, that is paper towel serving as a white base - think of how many wings I could have built with that!!)

That's it...the bill for the damage is in the mail...

I'm glad the gadet arrived in a timely manner.  I was so afraid that I'd damage it or it would get lost in the system.  Huh?

We had hoped to have such a fine delivery system. Sadly our budget was cut at the last minute and all available resources siphoned off to some guy up in Canada doing some crazy-azz scratchbuild...Whistling

So, we are left to improvise...

A carrier pigeon will be sent winging in a north-easterly direction with instructions to take a dump at the residence of p38ij....

Apparently the sender has access to more sophisticated delievery systems than the rest of us.
