Vance: I did get the gear wells painted and the NM leading edges, where I see a few flaws I'm going to have to touch up. Hopefully I'll get to the underside paint later this week. Still don't expect to be done by the end of the year but I'm at least moving now.

No problem Gamera, I was hoping to get a 2nd kit wrapped up before end of year, that is starting to look unlikely at this point. Keep on working on it though, you may beat the Christmas rush yet.
On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister
What's going on in here?!?!?
(Somebody had to say it....)
Lol, actually I think there were some around here till the horrible Hoop Snakes ate them all...
Gamera Vance: sorry still on vacation but I saw this at a museum yesterday. It's supposed to be a rare Canadian fish that grows fur to keep warm, I'm not sure if it's real or not

lol, Urban legend my friend. The mosquitos, however, start wearing fur coats in mid-December.
That's a sharp looking plane there, Vance!
Sheesh, I need to get started on mine if I want any chance of making the deadline...
The Navigator Did SAAB make any of these?

Good job on the J-21 Vance. Nice work on an old kit.
Cheers

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
I have many books and my Lair smells of rich mahogany!!! Stay thirsty my fellow MOJOs!
VanceCrozier Well folks, I'm calling it done, pending any suggestions from the modelling world on items I may have missed. Heller's 1/72 Saab J21A, built oob except for:• shiny tread-free wheels replaced with wheels from an FW190, not entirely accurate, but better than the option• masking tape harness.• also drilled out the forward tips of the booms to add landing lights.A fun little kit of an interesting machine.(to show the relative size, my little buddy Fuji...)

Great job on that SAAB!!
Any kit that prompts you to take 2 weeks vacation afterwards... I've got two of them in the stash!!
Eagerly awaiting pictures of your nude Swedish model!
Well, I finished assembly on the Viggen last night. Von Hammer will call me a wuss for saying this but I don't miss the old Airfix one bit, I've assembled limited run kits that were less of a pain than this!
Going on vacation/holiday for two weeks, hopefully when I get back I'll get some photos up of the nude Viggen and then start painting her.
Wouldn't be the first Swedish model you've propositioned!
Thanks guys!
Really well done Vance like like like!
rtoo speed makes ugly results, too relax don't make results
Hey wow, she looks great Vance!
J21 is finito - just need to take my final pics tonight.
In the home stretch now, gear bay doors, some weathering and a round of dull coat!
Thankfully, Manny left his white inspection gloves in the stretch limo................
That's true... According to that SAAB magazine, the German companies did more to kick start Sweeden's aviation industry than anyone else, so I guess it's only fitting that Manny pokes his head in here.
VanceCrozier He caught a sniff of Daimler engineering in my J21 and felt he should check it out. German efficiency and all...

What are you doing here Field Marshal? I thought you were organizing some sort of protest rally / boycott thing or the other???
VanceCrozier Just a few guys hanging out with well-built Swedish models... There is even a little German content to keep the Field Marshall happy, my J21 is powered by a license-built DB605.
