Toshi,

Nothing, I repeat ..Nothing!... is as valuable to us mortals as is our health.

Rest, recuperate, relax.

The Dagger (and its Dart progeny) will wait until you're strong enough to enjoy building it (and perhaps it's progeny). 

We want you well so we can enjoy your works in progress. You're a motivator for many of us here. I certainly appreciate the rate at which you've completed your fine builds but sometimes my head spins thinking about how quickly you do them!

Be well!!

I too was getting worried about you and the lack of posts. My continued prayers are with you and Mrs. Toshi for your quick and complete healing.

Just checking on you as I do occassionally! Get well of course!

 Toshi,

Whew! your among the living

You had me worried because you had not been posting and the last I heard Mrs. Toshi was ready to ship your fanny to the hospital.

By all means, get well and take care of yourself, you are needed for Mrs. Toshi and those grandkids, and also to keep us entertained with your build logs.

Blue skies and fair winds my friend.

Thank you Uncle Jay Jay for your heart felt warming words and prayers.

To my fellow forum members,

Here is what I‘ve done so far on this very chilly yet sunny Sunday afternoon.  I was sanding down some of my putty areas and the rescribed areas as well.  Why the rescibed areas?  I just happened to rescribe the Delta Dagger a little too deep, hence the rescribing process.  I used a #11 blade for the scribing.  

Now I’m going to attach the canopy and mask that area and take care of any touch ups needed on the fueselage and the delta wings.  Then mask the wheels and start the AB of the Delta Wing.  I’m going with the Airforce motif which will make the F-102A grey. 

Thank you fellow forum members for your patience and understanding during my illness.  Although I feel great, the doctors and especially Mrs. Toshi said I need to take it easy and continue my medications and antibiotics  religiously.

Sometimes it's good to just take some time and slow down in life and play and let the mind and body catch up. Keep getting better and your work looks great as usual.

What a relief.

Add me to the list. I was sitting here worried about you, darned near started a "has anyone heard from Toshi" thread, then I found this thread.

Sorry you've been ill. You must be better if Mrs Toshi is allowing you to play with your model today. I surely hope so.

God bless you both, and it's just great to 'see' you online.

Today it’s very sunny with low to mid 30 degree temps.  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday will be sunny with temps in the 60’s and 70’s.  Mrs. Toshi and I will make use of this great weather and take our grandson Ezra out to the park and feed the ducks.

I think this is as far as I’ll get today.  My grandson arrived to spend the next three nights and four days with us.  We will be having fun with him.  I’ll be sneaking in some bench time during his nap.

I’ve finally attached the canopy to the cockpit area.  I decided to keep the canopy closed as the cockpit is minimal at best yet it still holds it‘s own after all these years.

Sorry, Toshi, been away from following your builds. Glad to hear you are doing better. The weather in Ohio has been crappy this year, hasn't been this bad in awhile. Seems like we have missed Spring. Supposed to be nice for the next few days. By the way, the model is coming along great, as usual. Enjoy the week, my friend!

Great to see you back, Mr. Toshi. I was wondering what had happened and was getting concerned. Take it easy and get some rest. Looking forward to the final reveal.

Welcome back Toshi. I had almost the same thing two weeks ago, bed ridden with a 102.5 fever. It took 3 days for the antibiotics to kick in. I'm glad your back at the bench bud.

 

Your friend, Toshi

Count me among those worried about the lack of Toshi posts.  Glad to hear you are better and back at the bench.  Just take it easy AND LISTEN TO MRS. TOSHI!!

Rescribing does not look anything remotely like fun.  But as usual, you are doing a great job. 

Please take care,

Your friend, Dwayne

Gosh, haven't been here for a very long time due to other life things and just learned about your health issues. I hope you get better soon and follow your doc's instructions.

As a mater of fact I'm working on the same kit and the F-106 too. Far too many issues to mention so I do not want to hijack your thread. Just remember the 102 was kept clean as a whiste so no weathereing or panel llne highlighting, just a smooth glossy ADC Grey finish.

Please feel free to post photos of your F-102 and F-106 here.  You’re never hijacking  my thread, I can only learn from you.  Thank you for the tip in regards to the finish.  And also thank you for stopping by.

I know this is a thread on a WIP for a F-102 Delta Dart.  But a few days ago for reasons unknown, I found my very expensive Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito on the ground.  Somehow it fell.  Luckily the next morning, my very smart grandson helped me find the three missing pieces that fell off.  Yes, close to eight feet above the ground did the Mosquito fall from.  

Thats one hell of a testament on how well Tamiya had engineered their 1/32 Mosquito.  So I’ll be putting back together the Mosquito this evening and will be working on the Delta Dart very shortly after that.  Thank you Forum Members for your time.

Your friend, Toshi

LOL Toshi, that is one heck of a crash landing but the Mosquito looks very good still!

Don't fret any about the blood pressure thing. Thanks to my job police work, it gave me semi high blood pressure about 14 years ago and have been taking Lisinopril 5 MG daily. Watch your salt intake to keep the numbers low.

Too bad about the Skeeter, but glad to hear it survived the fall fairly well.

I've had high blood pressure since I was 30. Lots of good meds available these days and you'll learn to live with it if it doens't go away.

I was lucky, I got my high blood pressure at about the same time the FAA was recognizing some BP meds as ok for pilots. These days, they are all ok far as I know.

But take your BP meds. They prevent strokes.

I have to credit my grandson Ezra, he’s not even two years old and he was able to find the three pieces needed to repair the Mossie.  Also I have a Eagle that lost a couple of bombs and the drop tank during this ordeal.  The Mosquito damaged the eagle on it‘s Way down!

As for my high blood pressure I was just depressed about taking more pills.  I take anywhere from ten to twelve pills because of my accident eight years ago.

I too take Lisinopril twenty Mg. and Metoprolol Tartrate twenty five Mg.  For Mrs. Toshi and I it’s not the salt that is an issue, it’s the soy sauce that we need to reign in.  Thank you so much for your concern and support!  I so greatly appreciate it!

He wanted to help fix all the broken pieces but Mrs. Toshi stepped in and told him no.  He’s really smart and is learning a lot everyday!

I was really depressed as I already take ten to twelve pills everyday.  Ugh!  Now I take two extra pills for my high blood pressure.  It was just very overwhelming for me.  I was getting severe anxiety attacks.  

I want to thank you for your input and support!
