Joe, what can I say that hasn't been said before? This is another great looking build. =] You just keep pumping them out. Each one I see makes me want to add one more to my build list.

I just got back from my honeymoon so now the wedding rush of planning and whatnot can rest.

Another beautiful build, you can really turn them out. The base and the figures are just enough to really present the model well. Yes

Joe,

Wow, why am I always surprised at seeing your fantastic builds? You've slapped together 6 or 7 since I started (!!!) my "return to the hobby" kit. Your build quality is amazing, and I appreciate that you don't sweat the small stuff and do what's right to your eye. You're definitely up there on my "must-see modeler" list.

Can you please bring all of these kits to the show this November? I want to see them all in person!

Thanks guys. You are far too kind.

Max, Your very kind...thanks. Don't get me started on that rigged-a@@ model show. Sore loser? Absolutely.... Big Smile Kidding aside, I think its funny how all the club members run off with all of the awards. For example, the guy who won first place in the out of the box catergory last year forgot his assembly instructions. He should have been disqualified. Heres a thought, don't make rules if you don't intend to go by them. If it walks like a duck..... Hmm

That said, I'm considering my P-47M and Corsair diorama this year. My P-38 might get some love too.

Hi Joe, that is looking really nice. The cockpit area looks like it will be very nicely done. I'm looking forward to seeing your entire build. I'm just getting back into building kits again after a very long vacation from them and I'm looking forward to reading and picking up on everyone's work. Having not built any airplane kits for over 30 years, so far I've seen I have a lot to learn. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
