Yay, Chuk's Back!
Thanks, John- it's sure is good be here!
bvallot Glad to see you back Chuk! Sorry to hear about your troubles and glad to see you not letting it hold you back. I've enjoyed your scratch building for years and I'm still trying to clean up some of what I do. One question I've got is how do you typically address and fix your plumbing? Some times my methods for glueing ends together can be a bit cumbersome. Thanks, my friend! Foe all that kkoky plumbing I use three things: fine lead solder for curving lines that lie flat against bulkheads, etc- they get glued down with CA glue. Brass wire for straight lines- it bends crispl, keeps it's shape and can be easuly soldered. Abilion Alloys nesting brass tubing. Indispensible for details on the plumbing, etc- and can be used to connect two pieces of wire with a solid connection. I'll be posting some complex examples of this soon- stay tuned!

M. Brindos Oh heck yeah! Good to see you posting your impossibly detailed work again. Will there be any way to see any of that super intricate work you added to the back of the cockpit?! It also appears your graphic designs have improved since your last build. Impressive! As always, I'm looking forward to seeing more. Your builds are like adventures.

Glad you like it, Mike! It's taken me a while to get back into the swing of things since the surgery, but it's linda like riding a bicycke- after re-reading the manual. ;) The detail in the first camaptment wull be visible through the rear of the nose well. I'm pretty sure the panels on the upper fuselage were armor plate that could be screwed off, but I have no pics of that save a restoration in progress. That's why I hhaven't bother to detail out the tops of things and all the wirubg, etc that won't be seen from below.
Buckeye2 Awesome work on a very cool subject! Will be following along. Mike

In any case, looking good!

Here we go again- I had fully intended to take on this kit two whole builds, a relocation and an an open-heart procedure ago. It sure is satisfying tick off another 'good intention'. As with all my builds I'm keeping it simple- NOT! C'mon- take a look.
