Jeez! Spend a couple of days on the hospital and everything gets out of hand. Guy's bangin' on about a multi engine GB and building a P-47 M as a D version without the instructions and no one even noticed I was gone. Well first things first. Guy here are your instructions for the 1/48 Tamiya P-47 D.

Second sign me up with the old MPC 1/72 He 177 that has been lurking in my stash forever. The landing gear and doors even work on this kit. Plus it comes with the Henschel radio guided missles. Might have to scare up some decals but it should be a pretty neat subject.

So Guy what prize have I won?

You've got more metal for one plane than I've used in the last 10 years! Nice work so far... she's sure gonna look lovely when you're done with her.

Hello all,  I thought I'd try and post some update photos of my RA build.  So far, so good.  I am moving along on the interior.  I've managed to get a lot of the little bits done: engines, seats, instruments  etc.  I added some strip in the interior before painting.  I am working on the guns right now.  I replaced the barrels with brass tube, and added the kit flash hiders.  Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my green paint to work with me, so I am kind of on hold with putting the fuselage interior together.

I ordered the same book Guy bought.  I figure that ought to be a great read!  Although I don't join in on the banter, I really enjoy reading it.  I check here for new posts before anywhere else.

As for the sub-build, I might join in if I can finish off some other things first.  Those condors and 290's are really cool.

Take  care,

Oh yeah? And what would old Fupesy know anyhoo? Anyone who wears Lycra is deffo a bit odd.

I need some help PDQ. Who has the Tamiya P-47D in thier stash? That is the build im trying to do in a hurry, just so's i can embed myself here with multi-engined lovliness.

The kit im building is Tamiyas P-47 M. They are very similar and im going on the instructions by using the parts it says 'DO NOT USE', to make the 'D' model. The problem is a few of the bits it says dont use (That ive got too) dont appear to go anywhere, Hence the instructions needed. 1st to scan them in, wins a prize.

Anyhoo, since yesty, this is where im at with it,

I bought these decals to tart up the sidewalls and countless other uses. Theyre great. Go get some,

So ill let the glue go off for 24hrs and then attack the seams. Its being built mostly OOB but im getting the urge to wire the engine.

Oh, i got a German book on the JU-290. Lovely jubbly. Loads of corking pics. Anyhoo, get scanning, i need this finished.

...Guy

Whats up with that Bondo, something we should know about?????

Steve

Awwww geeeezzz, just when I thought I had managed to break away from this insanity I get pulled back in again. I have a JU-88 I am currently building for another GB that if his highness Guy will allow I will post progress here. I have just buttoned up the cockpit on it so you be the judge on that. Here is where she is.

I also have my HE-177 by Airfix that has been in my stash since 1978 just beggin to be built in all its flawed excellence. IMMM BAAAACCCCCKKKKK

Steve

At the show where i picked it up, there was no waiting or deliberation. I saw it and laid the card down. It had to be mine. One was resently built in Scale aviation modeller, i think? It looked gorgeous.

Muwahahahaha, we have the Simpilot hooked. Whos next?

...Guy

Somewhere I have hid away a stash of 1/72 Ju 88's with conversion kits to make different varients.. I wonder where I have those boxed away at ?

Err Dave, mine already has that wonder nose, and the decals to make 'Alles Kaput' LOL Dont get me wrong, im still up for building loads more Reggies, so the Gb will still be running, but who would be up for a sub-build of German Multi's? And what would they do? I have the 290 a Condor and a Gigant. ...Guy

DOH!!!!  How'd I miss that...   That is way cool and now I have another one to add to the wish list.

I'm guessing Lord Moustachio is going to do that nice He 177 he just aquired! 

I'm in with my Revell Condor kit.    Which one are you doing Guy?  My vote is for all of them!
