                        hehe, anthony, you will remember I warned you... looks good. I myself don't bother with priming. I'll post a few pics of the Tamiya T-55 I did a while back, not for the GB, bt it's on topic.

                        If anyone EVER wants to do this Trump. kit... DON'T! This has so far been the worst fitting kit I have EVER done, and to top it off, I have no filler! So this is a warning... If planning to do this kit, have filler! Or do NOT do it! I hope that it will turn out good.

                        Dose anyone know of a filler ( to fill gaps ) that can be found in a Wal-mart, etc. The LHS is too far to go just for that.

                        been at it for about 2 hours now, lower hull and roadwheels are 95% done, very very nice older DML kit, the SU-152. Not too many problems, a very straightforward build... i'll get pics up in the morning.

                        Yeah, I'm still in, just haven't had much time for building right now. I've transfered offices at work and I now have an hour and forty-five minute commute each way. But yes, I did manage to get some painting done on the cockpit last wednesday night.

                        Hey roadkill, sorry to throw a curve at you, but I need to change my build. I'm participating in the Russian Group Build, and I'm going to build my Minsk for that. For this group I'm going to build the 1/350 USS Ticonderoga Aegis Cruiser from Dragon. So, Minsk off, Tico on.

                        And who knows, if I'm a fast builder I might get my KC-135 in here too...

                        Got my 1/35 Trumpeter Hind, I've heard others say it but it still didn't prepare me. That's one serious kit. I was tempted to start removing parts from the sprue, but no, I'll wait until May. Looks like I'm going to need beter references though.

                        Hey roadkill, add my 1:350 Dragon USS Ticonderoga Aegis cruiser onto the list. I checked and it wasn't involved in any of the combat dustups that occurred during her service.

                        I suppose in addition to my F-102 I'll try to get my RF-4E done as a little bonus, although I think the -102 will be the serious project.

                        Mine was a joke too, like I said no offense taken. No need to be sorry, I was just being a smarta$$ too. I actually haven't built a Star Wars model in 20+ years (since the height of the Cold War), I just had to say it.

                        Hold on a second guys that post was meant as a joke not to offend. I am not prejudging anybody about nazis and stuff. Don't you guys remember the movies in the mid 80's at the height of the cold war where everyone from Russia was a "Commie Bas****? I thought the first sentence in the post would give it away that I wasn't seriously upset. SORRY.
