                        Nice pics of the interior. Looks like you are building a b-29. If so, what scale?

                        Thanks for the good words for this build. As for I have said in my last post that build progress will come to an almost dead stop. Atleast until I have found a new job, and move into the new house. I will try to keep you all posted on progress and all. Thanks again.

                        Well this last week has not been good for me. As I posted at the top of this page my birthday was on the start date and I wrecked my 1:1 racecar. The I got a slow start on the build and on Thursday I lost my job and found out that I would have to move from my house. So I have been busy this weekend finding a new house and trying to find a new job. I have found a new house at this time that I have been working on moving into, but I have also made some progress on my build so here goes the cockpit.



                        I hope that you likethese shots.

                        I have not even started on my build yet. I will start it tonight. I have been busy with my Birthday on the start date. I went and raced my 1:1 race car and had a pretty hard crash in the wall comming out of turn 4, with help from another driver. I am fine but the car did not fair so good. I will have to replace the entire rear end and the brake system to be able to return to the track. I will crack open the box on the B-29 tonight and have some progress pix soon.

                        Well despite my initial burst of overzealousness, I haven't had a chance to even look at the Lancaster yet. I spent the weekend up to my eyes in Spitfire Mk.IX (WW2 GB), Kfir C-7 (that kit has been "in progress" so long that sometimes I think it just stays there to irritate and frustrate me), and an Su-34 thats nearly done. And then there's still an SR-71 and an F-117, both also "in progress".

                        I've realised that I just seem to have too many "in progress" kits at the same time .... so I'm attempting to clear the bench for my GB projects .... I really want to get started on the Lanc.

I got a 1/72 B-17 I'm going to do for the for the Pearl Harbor GB, a Su-22M for the Red Star GB and a 1/72 B-29 for the Pacific War GB! Plus I'll probably do the 1/72 YB-49 for the Flying Wings GB! I'm running out of Heavy Bombers!Tongue [:P] I'll have to check the stash. I know I have a B-50 & B-36.

                        I opened the box a half an hour ago. I was amezed by the detail this model has. My Do 18 for the WW II GB has a little detail, so I excpected nothing, and what I see is really great.

                        I started to paint the cockpit. Pictures will follow, as soon as possible.
