So THAT'S where my napkins went...

Cockpit not masked off?? I assume you just opened it up for the pics and closing it up again, or are you hand-brushing???

Still no kit from Ebay seller..

Sorry Vance, I will be sure to return the napkins at the next picnic- I took off the masking too make sure the paint went on correctly on the clear parts. All done with new air brush.. Golf tees work well to keep the model up before I put the gear on. Hardwood kitchen table replicates carrier deck quite well! 

Hans it took about a week to a week and a half when I got my models from that guy. He sells the Helldiver kit and Avenger kits in bulk alot. Drop him a message and see whats up. There is no PE or decals with the kit but at $10 still a good deal to me anyway. Hope you get your kit soon Hans!

What's going on in here???

Finished the 109, on to the Helldiver!

I wonder if you are also having issues with the USPS too.. I ordered a set of resin wheels and according to tracking the were delivered... Actually not so Im fighting a losing battle with the USPS about it... Really pissed about it to.. 

Well I have to do some touch up on the diver, the camo line is not right on the fuselage by the rear gunner and one side by the cockpit. User error. Once I throw on some gloss clear it should go by alot quicker herr field marshall

.

***06.13.12 Fixed incorrect paint lines. Im back on hold again waiting for paint to cure before I lay down some gloss, until then I will be watching the other Helldivers to be built.

EDIT: Disregard, thanks to pzl66!

That excuse is wearing thin...

So's my patience...

But it's not like I'm gonna start it the day it arrives, lol.. I'm gonna let it wind down a bit farther...

I wonder if you are also having issues with the USPS too..

I dunno.. I popped off another email to the seller, but haven't heard from him on it from the first time... Gonna wait until Monday, then call the Resolution Center...

Sorry to hear that Hans, I have bought five kits from that seller and received all kits at different times in about a week.. Hope things get worked out...

Well, one never knows if there's some kind of family crisis, or even tragedy, when it comes to Ebay sellers, so I don't wanna get mad too soon, ya know.. I had it happen to me once...

I'd sold a pair of German Jackboots to this guy and they day after he bought 'em, before I could even think about shipping them, a very close buddy of mine was KIA in Iraq and I had to leave town that DAY to get to their home... Ended up having to hang around for almost two weeks to help the family get everything done and when I got home, I had some pretty nasty emails to answer... And he'd only had to wait three days longer than what the last ship-date was...

So.. Patience.. For now..

Sorry Hans, didn't see any SB2C's in the basement of the LHS.

Nuts!

Sorry Hans, didn't see any SB2C's in the basement of the LHS.

Give  Ad-Venture, America's Best  or RAM Hobbies a call when you're in Chicago.......if you're serious.

Ad-Venture might have an old kit from a collection at a lower price, but the others may be hobby shop price and outside a Hammer price

This is where I am at:

(^not run in paint just a drip of decal set..)

Great looking Helldiver Pzl66! Totally loving that one!
Ca'nt wait to see it finished!

With regards, Ninetalis.

Very nice...this scheme is one of my favs...

Made it only briefly over to Al's on Sat pm, didn't even see anything I must have.  Selection was a little less on the a/c side...... or maybe my stash is too big.

Thanks Ninetalis and Manny, added some stencils and touched up the flaps, gotta let them dry, shoot more gloss and Wednesday gotta add some grime and then shoot some flat and then add the main gear and rear turret.... Its getting close now!

Here is an update:

Oh no! A sludge mess!!

*Phew wiped clean...

Looking great pzl!

Good work doing the sludge over the decals.. Lotta guys do their birds up with all kinds of weathering, but forget that little detail...
