Darren

As with everyone else, I want to thank you for hosting this build.  As I said when I joined, I needed some motivation to get back into it, and this GB definately provided it!  This was a ton of fun and I am glad I got to participate.

Boyd you are welcome, it's just a pity you didn't join us a little earlier on in the build, but that's the way things go.  See you in another GB sometime soon.

Ok, I received a replacement yellow spiral decal from Stephan Wilkinson (thanks, I really appreciate it!).  I'm just waiting for the paint to be fully cured before I put the decal on.  Once that's done I'll post the final pics.  Smile [:)]

Karl - it's the unit insignia for the 42nd Bomber Group from WWII.  I've recently had a great breakthrough on research of my great uncle's USAAC career.  He flew tail gunner in B-25's in the S.Pacific and CBI (Island hopping till be were close enough to assist china)

Tom-I'm looking forward to following your B-25 build.  And learning more about uncle's career.  I just picked up the AM B-25 C/D from the Squadron Hanger sale.  Very impressive kit.  I think I'm gonna wait a while before tackling it though.

Good news.  Smile [:)]  I soaked my spinner in Turpenoid for about 2 weeks, and low and behold I was able to simply rub the paint off and start over.  I primered last night, will paint it again tonight this time with acrylic instead of the enamel.  Just about done guys, thanks for your patience with my little spinner fubar.
