Putting the last of the decals on my F-86 this evening. I'll be posting the photos tomorrow, most likely.

Greta looking build Jerry and Dave...really looking forward to seeing the finished products.

Jerry that is a nice cabinet. I have started looking for business that have shut or are upgrading in hopes of getting a case...

Jerry Nice looking Pfeil, I have always loved that bird as weird as it is for some reason. I'm looking forward to seeing yours finished.

As for my build, I am very close to finishing my P51 for the North Africa GB so will concentrate on this one next. I've already assembled the cockpit and the wing assemblies and just have to mask a few windows before I close it up and put the wings on. Here's a couple of pics of the pit, just remeber that this is an 80's vintage kit (Hasegawa 1/72) and the detail is sparse to say the least. Oh well, I've done some test fitting and almost nothing will be visible once it's closed up anyway.

Thanks Rick....Again.. a weird looking bird, but for some strange reason, I'm beginning to like it. Maybe cause I'm almost finished.

Nice work on the Dornier Jerry. Looks like it'll be a keeper.

Marc,

Yes, I did preshade the entire model, and I also faded the panels with a lightened version of the base color. I used raised masks on the splinter so as not to get a ridge.

Dave,

A friend of mine owns an optical clinic and replaced the case with a bigger one. I donated a couple of builds that are displayed with aviator style sunglasses, and apparently sales are up. Got it for free.

Great job so far on your Pfeil. Keep us posted; the pics look great.

And the display case is great! How did you score that?

Great looking Dornier. Pre-shading? And how did you get the nice soft edges on your dead straight splinter lines? Or is that a hard edge and I just need new glasses?

I'm on the home stretch Joe. I've got the Dornier painted and gloss coated. I'm masking the canopy today, and should start decaling and weathering soon. I used to think this plane looked ridiculous, but now it's growing on me.

BTW... you were asking about display cases..here's one I scored for free...got lucky! Wink [;)]

Your pal,

Jerry

P.S. The Brownies actually won last night ....good luck with your Stillers! Dead [xx(]

Hello Gents!

Been sort of quiet out there, how are the builds progressing?

Well I have moved along even if ever so slowly. The Rufe has been puttied, primed and painted. Now I have to touch up, paint the canopy, install the clear parts and then do a decale and dullcoat.

Looks great so far. Keep the pics coming.

Here are some pix of my progress on the Tamiya Razorback in 1/48.

You can see in the last photo that I had some trouble closing the seam in front of the cockpit... and I can see that there's a gap at the rear, too.

Next up, I'm going to attach the flaps, wash the model to get rid of my greasy fingerprints, and put on a coat of primer. Then I can see where I need to fix any more of my seams...

,,,oh yeah, and continue with the EZ Masking! (thanks, Joe).

As always, I appreciate constructive criticism!

Happy modeling!

Joe:
As I sat applying an aftermarket mask to the canopy last night, I wondered if that's within the rules of the GB. Is it? Please advise... I didn't get too far, so I won't be TOO disappointed if it's not "legal."

Thanks!
