The pit is ready to be closed up inside the fuselage along with the engine. I'll see if the Honey-Do list will let me accomplish that today. The seatbelts are Eduard and the nice thing about them is they have belts for different planes listed by manufacturer and the set contains four different versions.

how come the paint coats on the Japanese and US Pacific theatre fighters, namely the F4U-d, have a satin to gloss finish but the german aircraft in the european theater gets the dull overcoat??

Ryan my guess would be due to the harsh condistion with the salt air in the Pacific.Digger

Beautifull work as always Richard, that's a very good start. I just got back from vacation, and still have a couple of unfinished builds so nothing to report yet.

Great work everyone,

Jerry

Jerry,

Thanks so much. I am enjoying building this ancient kit and it is much better than I first realized. There is more coming soon.

Started installing the sub-assemblies together and here is where I am. Have to do a little touch up here and there before closing up the pit. Too bad you lose so much detail when the two halves go together.

Looks good Richard. Hopefully a lot of it will be viewable once it is closed up.

My personal update. I purchased hasegawa 1/48 ki-84 and some decals for it. Now I am just trying to decide if I want to go with a colored pe set or just a regular pe set. Once that is decided and ordered, I will begin; I am excited as I have heard great things about the kit.

Hi Diggeraone, is it too late for me to join in? If it's ok, I will join in with a Type 99. Let me know whenever you have time.

Thanks,
Bill

Howdy Guys......

Been seeing some great looking work here so far, that I wondered if I could join in the fun.

If thats okay I have a 1/72 Hasegawa 'REX' thats been sitting on the shelf for a few (years). Wink [;)]

I usually do 1/48 aircraft so this will be interesting.

Howdy all.

I never got official confirmation that it was okay that I joined this GB......but I'm going to assume that I'm not barred for antisocial behavior and post some pics.

This is a Hasegawa 1/72 'Rex' prototype.

Box has been on the shelf for years and represents the first 1/72 aircraft I've built. (usually do 1/48)

Pre-putty

Need replacement decals....these rotted on the shelf. Dead [xx(]

The painted Kasei-14engine (used on prototype only)......and the reason I dont always paint inside the lines. Propeller [8-]

Lookin' good cj95. I'm sure Digger will have you on the list soon. and as for anit-social behaviour, I haven't posted anything yet as my oscar is still in the box, I've got two builds to push through first before I start this one. We have until May 2006 so lotsa time! I'm think Nov before I get on this one...
