Oh! Hey! Wait a minute. There's room for one here in the toaster oven. Here we go!

LOL
Just don't forget to take it out or you may end up with a kit fitting like mustang's did!!
Thats what happened!!! Somebody got a hold of my fuselage and wing sprues and hid them in the toater oven. Thats it! That thing is going in the trash........wait a minute! There's the microwave and the oven too...................?????????

Aint nothn' a lil boilin' water won't fix fellas!
I agree with everyone! I think I am sick as well:
I have the following Eduard kits in my stash/on the bench:
And to make that even worse: Nothing was on sale when I bought it!
I suppose you guys can't help me either, having the same problem...
Well, lets make the best out of it and throw WIP pics of those horrible beautiful kits at each other! Who's with me?

Been there, done that.......recently.
Joe: LOL, make sure you look everywhere! You might miss one of the hidden sprues! Don't forget to look in the BBQ-grill as well!
Holy Shmokes!!! Right under my nose I'll tell ya! I will say that initially I didn't know I was going to make it this far with this 190 without completely starting over. The fit issues I encountered in the first stages of the build were terrible and I mean TERRIBLE. All major components were warped. I got past it but not without some major work. Refer to the beginning stages of the GB and you'll see.
Hmmm, Maybe my reference to us being twisted was a bit off the mark. Rather, it would be more precise to refer us as all being..(wait for it)...WARPED! heh, heh.
This would be true........................"indeed".
Hey, at least we KNOW that we are insane!
Yes Joe, I'm still here and will be to the end! I have also caught the sickness (Eduard that is) and will soon begin my "Langnasen" , I just had a few things to catch up on and I,m itching to get going!. Back in a short to begin!

Progress has been slowing tremendously throughout the week lately but I did get these babies gloss coated and hung to dry. Tomorrow will begin the decaling process.
Thats an interesting way of storing gloss-coated planes untill they are dry! I have some trouble with gloss coatrs, because we have a lot of dust in our flat... Any tips on how I can keep all the dust away from my models untill the gloss paint is dry? (about 48 hours)
Sorry Clemens, I myself struggle with dust as well due to working in an unfinished basement. I used to somewhat cover them up with a plastic tote turned upside down and support in the corners to keep it lifted up about 1-2 inches off the table but it seems like it takes much longer to cure this way.
Build a box using cheap furnace filters. Place the box over your model in a location with at least a little airflow.
Bill.
On the bench: Lindberg 1/32 scale 1934 Ford Coupe and a few rescue projects.
In queue: Tamiya 1/35 Quad Tractor or a scratch build project.
Ummm ..... Now I'm a little afraid to ever start building that Bf-109E Eduard that I have in my stash. I don't want to catch no Eduardotosis. Are those afflicted with it referred to as "Eduardos" or as being "Eduardic"?
Oh, JOE, what you said regarding us grouping here with a shared affliction, not to overcome it but rather, support and promote it. Very interesting .... Indeed it is twisted / warped. Indeed it is..........
I think Eric's comment was spot-on: We are referred to as "Eduardaholics", but I think "eduardic" would work well as an adjective...
.................and that's a great idea about the filters Bill. Never thought of that one. May give that a shot on my next one.
Hey everybody. Will post pictures hopefully by the end of the day but I have the landing gear struts done and the doors now weathered and glued to the struts. I painted the brake lines and am now in the process of partially building one of my spare A8 wings to give me an idea on bending the PE wire harness at the proper places. Tires go on only after I establish the angle of the model with the gear on so I can get the flat spots in the right places.
Speaking of landing gear, I ordered my CMK4025 undercarraige set for the Tamiya D-9. It comes with the corrected length struts, doors and comes with the innards of the tail wheel complete with the access panel on the rudder. I've about got everything I need for that one now except for Master Model gun barrels.
So I must be crazy, Since I'm just finishing up a S3-A Viking for the Naval aviation GB. Can I still join? I just started a Dragon Fw190A-8 1/48 scale. I am also just finishing up a Tamiya Fw190A-3 but by the time I decided on entering I was almost done with that one.
John
On the Bench: 1/72 Ki-67, 1/48 T-38
1/144 AC-130, 1/72 AV-8A Harrier
Whoa John, mixing it up in here with a Dragon kit!!! Cant wait to see it!!
Ooh, a Dragon 190! I am looking forward to your build as well, John!
falconmod: Welcome to the GB John! Sure you can enter the Dragon kit in! We'd love to see some pics of the A-3 also but I'll definitely pencil you in the intro post. Jump right in buddy!
Ok just penciled you in on the #8 spot. We have had a couple of folks who said they were going to join in an d then left the forum and one of those was in the #8 spot. Just trying to clean the intro post up a little. Great to have you John.
Jester75 - Ya well the Tamiya had the eagle head decals I wanted, and the Dragon was acutually on sale at my local LHS. I really like the Tamiya model. I'm out on the Dragon one, there are more parts and a little more flash to deal with, so we'll see how it turns out.
SchattenSpartan- I'll post some pics of the almost completed A-3 (Tamiya) as well as the just started A-8
Mustang1989 - Thanks, I look forward to adding to this GB!
falconmod Mustang1989 - Thanks, I look forward to adding to this GB!
Falconmod... Thats a nice kit, (Its no Eduard though) LOL... Just kidding, I've built that kit in the past and have another in stash.
