Just throwing this out there Chuk, I'd love to see what you would with a 1/48 B-17. Especially, if, say you were to back date the monogram G to a late B-17F, I would follow the hell out of that thread! Hint, hint!!!!!!
Many thanks, guys! HE, I expect my copy of the B-17 any day now!
On one other note, I did forget to these pic- derp!
Cheers!

Nice work on the Kubel!
"Whaddya mean 'Who's flying the plane?!' Nobody's flying the plane!"
Simply superb!
I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Ah Chuck! The work is looking quite nice on the Kubel there and the plane is great as usual! On another note, My FLHS got in their order of the 2 new HK B-17 kits. Mine was set back for me and the other walked right out the door as they came in. As I am moving at the moment, I didn't go ahead and pick it up, but did take a look see and let others around have a view. On looking thru the instruction book lo and behold there is a LARGE thank you note to all the test builders and of course your name was on the list too. Can't wait to get this move done, (I hate packing!) so that I can go pick up my kit and thoroughly check it out!

Thanks, guys! Sorry to have been away so long. In between rounds of long hours at work, family issues and life in general, I've been sneaking in time at the bench. Take it away, Hannah!

I just discovered this thread and I'm very inpressed!
That plane looks stunning and the Kübelwagen and dio are awesome as well! I also love your way of posting updates!

That "Gulp!" says it all: He'd better make Pfennig happy or he'll be getting the savage beating!
Pfennig needs to chill out: Perhaps you can take him on a nice vacation to the Hawaiian island of Kauai or something.
Sweet Chuk, great detail on the truck suspension.
Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom. Peace be with you.

In the Hanger: A bunch of kits
Interesting touch for the edging on your dio, Chuck!
What's your recipe, when mixing Celluclay? I find it necessary to add some white glue to it, and I also learned to make sure to spread it evenly, so it cures evenly, to avoid curling at the edges.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Thanks, sub!
Over a month and no updates? Pfennig is furious! Calm him, Fritzi- please!
Please excuse this late response, but WOW! Great job!

Building the perfect model---just not quite yet
Thanks, Jim, me bucko! I'm looikng into compressing the d@mmed springs and turning the front wheels. I have some crazy idea that I can drill and sink wires, then cut just the plastic and reposition. Time alone will tell! I'm not sure what I can get done this weekend- gotta move a bunch of crap form my office before we shift the whole place up the road apiece. Gotta detail out th Spyder, too- it's going up for sale now that I'm driving this litlle whizz-wagen!
Great idea for holding up the plane! Something different without fooling with the nose weight.
That's another great use for those "cheapo" make-up sponges, too. I've found numerous uses for them on my workbench, from wiping the rim of the paint bottle after opening it (a lot less messy than napkins) to using them as small cushions for painted parts that I don't want to scratch.
Thanks, Duster- you bet we'll keep this post rollin', and here's Andi to show you what we've been up to!
It's Memorial Day and the girls are attending services for the fallen, so my dog Andi is keeping an eye on Pfennig as we build our little Kubel. Read on!
chuck Well Done. The "tone on tone" has realy brought life to the project. Bet its even more impressive in real life.
Good to see your dio idea starting to take shape. should be a real treat; will there be a WIP on it?
Well, a scrubble behind the ears to Andi and a Good Memorial Day weekend to you and yours

Thanks, Gents!
Reasoned, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I lost my father to cancer twenty years ago, and a dear friend just last month as well. I'm proud to say we raised over 1,300 bucks witha simple group build. Maybe all forums should do this periodically. Hmmm....
I do have a three-day weekend and hope to get some board time in- stay tuned, and thanks again!
Its always such a treat to experience one of your builds Chuk. Thanks for taking the time to do them!! As usual, just a stunning plane!!
Eric
Wow, fantastic build as always Chuk and very informative to see a master at work. The "cancer" in the thread line caught my eye and really hit home. I lost my mother to lung cancer about a week ago, God bless.
What a great job on the build, Chuk, and what a novel way of keeping the nose on the
ground! Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Best Regards,
Ernie
Seeing double is a good thing...when it comes to wings.
Thanks, guys- Andi says thanks, too!
I think I can call this plane done. Of course I'll have to add a fresh oil streak here and there- as I build the diorama base. Updates will continue!
Very glad to hear that things are on the upswing for you , chuk. And thank you for the excellent update.
Lee
Keep em coming Chuck! Glad to hear your dog is doing better. Love seeing your work and method of delivery.

Here's an update at last! Andi seems to have recovered and is back to full health, my job is hopping and my wife and I are well. That said, things do keep cropping up and modeling has to take second fiddle- and posting plays trombone. I had to cut this update short- look to the last pic for a teaser of where I am now. ;)/>/>
I wouldn't try that- it dries so quickly there would be a raised "lip" around the edge of the white-out. Really, I use this technique because it can be done so quickly, it hardly interrupts the painting process. :)
Hey Chuck, about the white out, is there a solution that you have found work with it, so I can apply it and wipe off excess filling the seam? As opposed to dry then sand.
Very entertaining and informative. Can't wait to see more!
