I only count four "road wheels" no bolts that I can see

Too many fiddly bits.

Nice image..  I have been thinking of doing my last 1.48 panther as a Blue Angel, but the trick is finding an affordable set of the decals. lol

Context is everything, ol' buddy.  Liked you detailing on the Ho 229.  Not as good as the P-38, but impressive nonetheless.  Captain

 Manstein's revenge:

 

I read you loud and clear...who catches the next mouse...I repeat, who catches the next mouse?

 

 

bbrownii will "Pimp the HO".  I say again, bbrowniii will "Pimp the Ho." Cool

 

I'd just like to point out that we have been using the words "pimp" and "Ho" in here for months now, and nobody has felt the need to shut us down. Toast

Yup.  And if you think this one looks dumb.  You should see her other cat Abby.  That's actually her short name.  The cat's full name is "Abby Normal"...  Spicey is just the friendliest one in the house.  She comes over when I am working and lightly taps me on the arm when she wants attention.  But in this image Marissa caught her and gave her a good belly scratch.

You know you're in a modeler's home when.... even a picture of your child holding a cat has an open model box in the background!

 

I react the same way.  No pictures though.Embarrassed
