LOL guys!

Bish hasn't said much, I hope he's not angry about how far we've run off subject here...Embarrassed

Not at all, just trying to figure out how we got here.

Knock yourself out guys. I am sure we will have some builds along soon.

Bitbite: Very noble of you!

Clemons: Are there any differences between German German and Austrian German? In British English and American English you have different terms like gasoline/petrol, vacation/holiday, truck/lorry, etc as well as spellings tire/tyre, armor/armour etc of course. Just wonder if there are national differences there too?

Bish: Good! Hopefully I'll get some more done soon.

Cliff: Yep, there are some differences (kinda like with British/American English)

Bitbite: She does look delicious indeed!

Bish: I don't know how all that happened as well. It was me and Bitbite drinking too much most likely...

hehe.  Well, I'm off to see a movie in about an hour so I'll be out your hair for at least two hours.  That has to be some kind of record for me.  Two hours without a post?

Aye... I like his dog too...

I think I can rightly assume that Stik didn't have to play the movie to get these quotes right. Because I wouldn;t have had to eitherBig Smile

That's fine, we will allow you 2 hours leave. Just don't forget to take your references with you. No excuse for slacking.

I know what you mean Ken. Its a pretty memorable scene.

Well, he said he thought it was fun once but that was quite a few posts back. If he 's mad I'll sacrifice myself and take the blame.

Ok guys,

We are doing nothing but behaving like idiots ATM (nothin' bad about that), so I thought I'll post at least something productive...

I promised you an update, so here it is:

First, a pic I forgot to post:: A photo of the IP with decals and gloss paint (Alclad) added:

Now the real update:

Fuselage and wings are glued together:

 

  

The stabilizers and tail fillet are not glued in place yet:

 

Another pic of the cockpit: I had some issues getting it all lined up and I hpe everything looks OK...

I had some problems with the turbocharger exhaust as well (some huge gaps on both sides), so I need to fix that. Any tipps on how to rescribe panel lines and fill gaps in such a small area?

I hope you like it...

Cheers, Clemens

I like it.  It will be awesome!

By the way, I just spent $16.50 for three medium drinks at the theater.  I could have bought a small kit for that.  Sad

Yeah, I am in the same boat. It will be a couple months before I can start a project for here. I have two projects going now (one almost done), and two on deck for start when these two are done next month.

Yes you could have bought a 1/48 Monogram P-51 for that price.

white glue might work for the small gaps. blend it with a wet Q-tip. no help with scribing

Clemons: Looks good! You should be able to scribe panel lines in tight places with the backside of a regular hobby knife. There are several ways to fill gaps, if you have any Mr. Surfacer I like to put a little in a tight place, let it dry, and then rub gently with a cotton swab/bud moist with lacquer thinner. It will only take off the excess if you rub gingerly.

Little work here on the Churchill. I'm hoping to paint soon so you can see the PE that came with the kit here:

I went to see 'Pacific Rim' last night, loved the movie. I refuse to pay seven bucks for a drink though.
