Ok. After a little searching, I have found a replacement cockpit. Hopefully, I'll be able to get it ordered and shipped quickly. Sadly, the weather around here may delay things on that front for a bit though.... Oh well. There's still plenty of detailing to do. The sanding stripped away some recessed panel lines and riveting. Not a bad fix, just tedious. Back to work rivet counting...

Also, would you have any advice on where I might find a replacement clear plastic canopy? I tried EBay and the internet, but I'm not finding 1/48 scale FA-18E canopies anywhere. There was a 1/32 scale one 

My cockpit parts finally arrived! Still working on getting the canopy though.

You might want to ask over on the aircraft forum )if you haven't already) if anyone has a canopy or any idea. I took a look on scale mates and didn't see anything listed. 

Stripped the paint off the St. Chamond last week. Haven't had a chance to take pictures yet. Hurt my lower back almost four weeks ago and I'm now almost back to normal. Should start back to working on models this Sunday. 

I completely forgot to post my rebuild pics of my Mustang last year when I redid it. Dangit!! I have others, I'll see what I can whip up.

Thanks GreySnake! I'll check that out. Sorry to hear about your back! I'm glad you're feeling better now though. 

BrandonK: No worries! Hey, I fell off the edge of the earth for a while myself... Feel free to send a photo of the mustang still; I'll post it .... and get to see it in all its glory! 

The 70 Revell Boss 429 started out life as Tamiya Mica red with black interior and stock magnum 500's and hand painted bright work. I stripped it down and blew it appart. It is now Grabber Blue with 2K clear, bare metal foil, white interior and 20 inch Magnum 500s. I also wired the engine. I can't find my pic of it before I started and I didn't take any during the overhaul. Here are some pics of it now.

Man that's sweet! I love the dash board work, and the wiring turned out awesome! Great choice of color too. Which photo would you like in the completed section? 

Guys check out the detail on these resin parts! Man look at that seatbelt detail. This is way better than what Revell originally offered... Crud, now that I've seen it can I ever go back? Future apologies to my wallet... Obviously, I've never really worked with resin too seriously before - never had the tools growing up. Time for an adventure!

I found the before pictures of the Mustang. I built it 9 years ago.
