Well, I guess it was going too well. Been busy lately with a Spitfire for the D-Day GB, but I made sure I'd finished my F-84G.
The past two weeks have been filled with a move into our recently converted garage. It's now what my wife refers t oas "Liam's Playroom".
So, to cut a long story short, I was fixing some shelving to the wall and one of htem slipped and fell onto the shelf two below.
This shelf housed my Sabres and the F-84. They hit the laminate floor pretty hard.
Mostly intact tho', but the landing gear of the Dog and the one F-86 that went are in bits and the front windsheild of the F-84 has shattered. Took me almost 15 minutes to find the entire canopy.
A 1/48 Zero and a 1/48 Kittyhawk also took a hit, but they bounced well, with the Zero only suffering a splayed undercarriage.
But my heart is broken about the F-84.
I'll try and fix as best I can, but there goes my entry.
