Alright gang. Got the interior tub completed. Holes were drilled in the tops of the door panels at the rear of the doors where the door lock knobs while be installed later on near the end of the build.

Doug...aka Rigidrider as well as Toshi used to get a kick out of scale auto interiors. Doug did build some cars eventually and I think ol' Tosh was considering it at one point.

It'll buff out.

  GH, LOL, forgot all about that LOL, hope for a different outcome though.

Just think Ferris Buelers day off to turn back the odometer.....or just un-hook the speedo cable.

    Don't worry Ferg, I got a dust buster that can hide our evidence of the joy ride. Not sure how to fix the odometer but if we fill the gas tank maybe Mustang will show mercy.

Oh great- Joe is gonna lay Ferg and I out cold with a tire iron to the forehead...

Yeah that looks amazing! 

You just need a few french fries stuck in the seats! 

 

 

 

 

Anyone eating in that car would get a right proper thumping me thinks.

 

I think it needs some Maccas wrappers and chips scattered around!

Still Smmoooottthhh!

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. Looking forward to seeing everyones progress moving forward.

Continuing on with the Mustang. Got the rear seat belts finished up and this pic is with the rear seat test fitted into place. Now moving on to the finishing touches to the interior tub.

Justin, that Corsair is looking superb. If I can get mine half as good I will be a very happy man.

Mustang old mate, I swear you must have a team of nanotechs working for you!

Thank you all for the kind words!  I find the weathering the fun part....

I will work on getting shots of the completed aircraft up tomorrow, while waiting for glue or paint to dry on my weekend madness build....

And a Very Happy Thanksgiving to all also. May it be a wonderous day.

Justin: That is some really fabulous work on your Corsair. Superb paint and weathering. Our compadres would be extremely pleased with your efforts.

And Happy Thanksgiving to you guys too!

I'm at work so I kinda end up forgetting it's a holiday. I try to be grateful 365 days a year for all the blessings I've been given though.

Work to resume on the Mustang soon now that the Boss 302 engine is out of the way. 

To all those who celebrate it here: A big Happy Thanksgiving goes out to you and your family. 

That weathering is INDEED looking good on that Corsair Justin!! Nice!!! 

Justin, the weathering on your F4U is exquisite.

Cheers

Tony

Justin, your Corsair looks incredible.

Oh WOW Justin, my Corsair isn't going to look even a fraction that good! That is some super nice work!!!

Joe: Great job there too! It's a shame to put her in the chassis and then cover her up with the hood!

Alriaght, alright, alriaght!  I've finally found some time to access my laptop, rather than my Ipad, so I can finally link to photos of the finished aircraft!  ( I AM currently working on the tropical island airfield base to perch the Corsair onto.

Here  are the photos of my submission to the Absent Friends Group build, Tamiya's 1/48 scale F-4U 1D Corsair, built in honor of Toshi, and my own father....

Yeah that weekend madness GB is coming up really fast 

 

tell me about it!  I've narrowed my selection down to three kits to choose from....

Yeah that weekend madness GB is coming up really fast 

Thanks you Brandon, Steve, Tony and Justin! 

Looking forward to seeing that Corsair base in action as well as the progress on the aircraft itself Justin. 

One more picture just for the scale reference:
