Looks really good Ken. When you get the wounded guys on the litters, you may need to put Hawkeye in there doing triage.

 

Thanks MC

LOL Yea I hear you. The wounded men come with a medic. but no cowboy hat lol

One thing, The bubble wouldn't match up exactly right with the fusilage. I guess thats what it would be called I wonder if it was me or the kit.

I finished the chopper, I think. I'm not calling it done yet though. I'm doing a base for it, plus I have on order 2 wounded men for it. Yes, I know the pics are dark. I'll have better ones when its finished. I ended up deleting some pics then this post disappeared on me and I had to start all over again.

Great! I just love how orange that is! And great way to think outside the box with the paint.

thinned it with lacure thiners and sprayed it on, dries very fast so need to keep the nozle wet.

I just completed the masking of all the slats and leading edges for paint tomorrow.

Jelliott,
Coming right along. You’re doing the Idaho ANG if I remember right, or am I wrong? I got to see them land at Gowen while their runway was being repaved, now they went back to Mt Home  .

Theuns,
That's interesting, I never thought of that. Did you spray it?

Here is a quick update on the twin Eagles I'm working on. Havent had a whole lot of time at the bench lately but I have made some progress. Right now I'm working on getting the seams blended. Havent had too much issue with gaps on this one, mostly with small ridges that arent hard to take care of. The only area that has proved to have a slight gap was on top of the main wing structure as you can see in the pictures. Now that the fuselages have been assembled I will start working on painting and adding the minor bits. Enjoy.

B1,

I got you down my friend. Man you are a machine with the Boeing gear.

Theuns,

 Orange can't be any easier than yellow or white, nice job . Now just keep those meat hooks off the winglets and you'll be done in no time.

Orange enough??

Now the trick will be to mask the leading edges of the wings without the darn wingless snapping off again....stay tuned!

Hey MC put me down for a 1/72 AWACS and 1/72 KC-135R, Wont be awhile before those are started though.

Mach,

She’s really coming along.

Ken,

That's really looking good. I've always liked that old bell.

Heres the latest on the Bell 47 D

I concur..that resin kit is very cool. I managed to get some work on the 707 tonite. White/aluminum and some decal work (I needed to see some progress!). Hopefully the big decals will settle down overnight.

 

Sorry, I haven't been latley. Life Happens.

Great looking 707 Rob, as are everyone elses builds. Is that JFK's Air Force One. I thought about about doing his.

This will be it for a while. I'll be away for a few days.

I got a coat of primer on it early today

And the 1st coat of black

Looking good Aussie!

I was surprised to see that the flaps on that  beast are single slotted!

Nice work there.

Nice! Well it looks like youre halfway through the flaps Aussie!

You smoothed that right out Mach, good job 

I got it directly from Collect-Aire back in 1990. Unfortunatly they closed shop a few years ago.

I got some work done today. The sanding/filling is coming along.

Looking good mach, Where did you get this kit from ?

I've assembled the cockpit.

The 2 side sticks look prety accurate to the book I have. They don't really show up well in the photos.

The fit of the cockpit roof is terrible! It's going to be interesting smoothing everything out.

I'm guessing this will be taking the majority of my time going forward.

Not too much to report on the Dyna-Soar. I did a bit of cockpit detail.
