Thank you, but I actually spoke too soon, and I will not be able to join the build. Sorry to anyone I may have offended by this.

No, the would not let us. I was low on film so I had to choose my shots wisely. I shot the wheel well for reference on future builds. I got as much shots around the plane before I ran out of film. This was at the Galveston, TX air show last year. I plan on being there this year, but this time with a digital camera. I have been facinated with the b-B-17 for many years. I am building one for this group build. I am a little overwhelmed on the project. In the past I seem to start builds and stop because I am not satisfied. In partaking in these group builds I hope it will push me to finish the project no matter what. I am sure they will come out decent and maybe one day I will put out a show stomper. But I guess you have to start somewhere, right?

The Dambuster is nearly there ..... just a bit of cleaning up left before getting serious with the airbrush.

Unfortunately, its going to have to wait for a while ... packing this week for the big move over the weekend.

Hi All,

Well, I finally seem to have settled in, after a fashion at least, and am ready to start contemplating hauling out all those frozen modelling projects. The partially-built and completed kits handled the move quite well ... the only fatality was the SR-71 which suffered the seperation of both front landing gear doors (just have to reattach them).

I am ecstatic about my latest acquisition though .... gotta love the internet .... i managed to locate a mint AMT 1/72 XB-70 kit and an owner who is prepared to part with it!

Hey everyone. Just wanted to check in and say that all builds at this time are still on hold for the life of finding a job at this point and time is a BEAR. I have most of the inside detail work done at this time.
