Hell of a cough.  Doing much better, felt like a bout with the flu.  But moving forward!  Fell on my ribs and head.  I'm good.  I am very hardheaded so says Mrs. Toshi.  Lol!  Starting work, here is what I have.  Ezra is studying ABC Mouse.  Fast learner.

Here I am back in ER.  I'm just glad Mrs. Toshi and Ezra did not catch what I have!  I became Covid19.  I will check in every now and then.

Toshi

 

get lots of rest and deep breathing exercise, my friend!  Keep your head up!  I want to see more builds from you and that little fella of yours!

Hi Toshi,

 

That model was a Revell "box scale" kit from way back in 1954. It's about 1/92. I think the best part of it is that great globe display stand.

Atlantis is a new company that's re-popping old kits, including some really old ones from Aurora as well.

Have fun!

 

Bill

 

I agree with Bill, this was one of the old Revell box scale kits. They used that clear globe base, not Monogram.

It's good to see Ezra enjoying the build-and to see you enjoying it, too, naturally Wink

That's a very popular kit right now, too, if all of the posts I see online about it are true.  A lot of guys of our vintage (in their 50s and 60s) look back on building that when Revell issued it.  So it's good to see you guys having fun!

Welcome back to the workbench, Toshi and Ezra. As you can see from my build the two 1/24 Hellcats are fighting back like mad but I am wining slowly!

Glad to see Mrs. Toshi joining in and it is always nice when your other half takes an interest.

Stay safe and well all of you over there.

It was actually Ezra’s idea, he calls Mrs. Toshi Tu’Tu. It means grandma in Hawaiian.

 

Mrs Toshi's gotta love that.

Ours is Po po, one many ways to say grandma in Chinese.

 

Oh I remember we there was Chinese family living upstairs from us.  And you brought fond memories of Po’po

Here's some of Mrs. Toshi's handi work whom helped me with the wings.  Ezra asked for a Marvel Comics LEGO set.  I had issues with it and my son had to redo the whole assembly.  Lol!  

 

 

I still preferred a good ole fashioned model kit!

Many hands make light work...glad to hear Mrs T keeping both of you safe and out of trouble.

Shelf of doom is going to be empty soon enough now.

 

Thank you for the kind words.   The shelf of doom is slowly but surely making it's way free.

Be safe and stay healthy.

Here’s Ezra with the Tamiya cutters and cutting off one of the 4 cowlings without my help.  He’s really taking leaps and bounds.

Yeah, it's good to see you guys back at work!!! 

That's one thing I like about modeling: When I squatting on the floor cursing and screaming about the part that flew off and went missing I forget about all my other problems. Wink 

 

[/quotetThat is so true.  Working on that cheap little bomber made it feel like a million dollars.

I finally found where this thread was and blew the dust off the Tamiya liquid cement bottle.  I asked Ezra if he’s interested in helping papa in starting back up the kit, he told me later.  He is really interested in hand held games.  

At least he told me he’ll make models with me later this evening as he knows the trouble with my arm so bare with me.

Nice! I was checking that out at Hobby Lobby the other day as well.  I look forward to your progress.

Glad to see you back and to hear Mrs Toshi is working on getting better. It's nice to get back to some sort of normality in life.

Yes, a little at a time we've been going back and forth between the Liberator and Paw Patrol.  Lol!
