Multi Prop GB 17 March to May '17

Managed to squeeze in an hour of building time today after cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry.  Got most of the interior together, there really isn't much to it.  Hopefully this evening I'll be able to get to adding windows, a few other fiddly bits, and glue the fuselage halves together. 

Lots of great work going on! Really like seeing action on here!!

I think I may add this POGO to the build list once I finish the F-82. The Mustang gets a primer coat tonight. Still havent decided to do Natural Metal or the Black night fighter, I have 2 kits so just need to decide.

Going through boxes I found this POGO been meaning to build for some time.

Yep it has 2 separate props , just one behind the other.

^Another intersting aricraft!

Snuck a few more hours work in on the Spectre.  Fuselage is all one peice now, and I got the silly shaped windscreen on.  I'm not too fond of it, there is going to be putty and sand paper involved for sure.  I got the wings and tail glued together as well.

We are getting a Golden retriever puppy on Friday!

Congratulations Keyda - not many things cuter than a new pup !

Nice work on the Spectre.

Tonka - Very cool - I remember being fascinated by pictures of the Pogo when I saw it as a kid.  I bet in 1/72 scale that's a pretty tiny kit.

Chris

Great, I have the ME 410 on roster :-)

Spectre is really coming along!

Chris actually the POGO isnt really that small, its certainly stubby though! Fit seems OK, not a lot of detail, but interesting subject. I actually thought about doing a 'What if' - Build it up as a USMC ground attack VTOL aircraft ...sort of a predecessor to the Harrier.

This finally showed up, so now I can get cracking

Little bit more progress on the Do 335. I masked the canopy framing whilst listening in to a particularly long and onerous conference call for work. This weekend is a long weekend, and it's not going to be too hot, so I'm going to spray it. 

Cheers

Moving along on the c-130j. Won't spend too much time on the Interior since it will be all buttoned up.

I haven't been able to get anywhere near my bench in the last few days.  I have a lot of sanding to do, and I'm not looking forward to it.  Maybe sometime today I can sneak away and start sanding.

I hear you, I also hate to fill and sand. You must look at perfect plastic puty. It fils light seams and you just wipe it of, no sanding!

I did hear about that stuff, just haven't ordered any yet!  I've tried a few different kinds of putty, testors, tamiya, and one other one I can't remember the name of.  Not really fond of any of them, lol.  It's like body work on a vehicle, and I hate doing that!  I'll paint all day long, bondo and sanding....no thanks!

When you do it for 40+ years to keep the wolf from the door, it grows on you. 

I got a tube of Perfect Plastic to try on this build, will let you know how it works for me.

I've got the Do 335 painted. It's waiting for decals now. The paint is Lifecolor acrylic 'Vert kaki', with pre-shadng. Those photos were taken about half way through, the pre-shading is more subtle now. 

Cheers

Cool Tony, the Arrow is looking very nice :-)

I have managed to start painting the interior of this model, it is going to take loads of paint!

The detail for a model of this era is actually really good, allot of electrical boxes and hoses all over the place, its gonna be interesting to paint all of these.

Theuns

Made a little progress on the O-2.  Got the window openings sized to fit, fuselage walls and floor painted, IP decal on.  Also glued up the tail booms.

I see the datestamp on the B17 says "China 1975" just 4 years younger than me LOL

Aw, gee, you're just a baby.  I graduated high school the year you showed up. Ya know, now I think I'm actually getting old. lol

Looking good Tony and B-1.

Hey Keyda - we gonna see a pup pic soon ?

Chris

 

Lol, he is the reason I haven't been able to get to my bench!  My husky is having some issues with him, so we have to constantly keep an eye on the 2 of them.  Hopefully he will adjust soon.  He's always been a really weird dog, so I expected some issues.  My husky's name is Lucian and the puppy is Kraven. 

Cute looking little fellow. 

The pics with the husky are kind of "oh crap, I've been invaded----if I ignore it, it will go away" and "Kid, don't EVEN think about it, I'm not playing, I don't even want you here.  GO AWAY, or I'll make you go away."

That is so cool :-)

I have been busy painting the loads of interior bits on the B-17. I will not be going mad with the detail, allot of it will not be visable anyway.

Very Nice Keyda !

Congratulations.  I know puppies (or any kinda babies) are a ton of work in the beginning.  He's a cutie.

We had to lay our Setter "Elwood" to rest about two years ago.  Miss that guy  *sniff*    Hoping to get another when I retire.

Your not kidding!  He's more work than baby, at least they stay where you put them, and don't try to chew on everything and anything in your house!  To make matters worse we are being buried in snow.  We've been hit pretty hard with this snow storm, I haven't seen it this bad in at least 10 years.  It's been snowing hard for more than 2 days.  It's supposed to subside in the next few hours, but sure doesn't look like it's slowing down at all. 

Hey Keyda,

I saw that you mentioned the Geneseo Air Show in a different post - so I figured you had to be in or near western NY.   I'm shovelling the white stuff with you !  This is a bad storm.

Chris

Started work on the sponsors. I am using the Attack Squadron correction set. I had to cut out the left side one because it was molded to the fuselage. The right side is a separate peice .

Yep, good ol' Niagara Falls.  Thankfully the snow has stopped, and the sun is out slowly melting it.  I can not wait for spring!  Where a bouts are you located?
