♠ Allied Aces GB (WW1 -WW2) April 2006 Start - Sept 2006 Finish

That's a bummer Jay.

Waaahhh! I hate internet blockers!  Sorry termin8tor if don't comment.  The company I work for has blocked a bunch of sites (including photobucket) and I can't see your pic.  I'll try to get on at home later and check it out. 

That goes for everyone else.  Please forgive me if I do not comment on your builds.  I am not being rude or pretentious.  I just can't view the pics until I get home and I usually don't go on the internet at home much.  When I get home after working on a computer 8+ hours a day, one of the last things I want to be doing is hopping on the computer for another couple hours.

Looking great Terminator.  Should be a winner.

Regards,  Rick

Trmn8tor-looks great! Keep up the good work.

Hey guys!

Dad and I went to work after we got home from the Air & Space Museum.

We used British Green and British Medium Sea Grey.  The hardest part was masking the stripes.  We have al ot of touch up to do yet.  We have to paint the propellor blades yet.  It is getting close to my favorite part.  Putting on the decals.

This time thing is a pandemic!  I have only opened the box on my Mustang.  Most of my time has been working with my son on his submission.  That has truly been fun.  He has really done better than 95% on his own.  We hope to have it finished before Sunday evening...will take a break for soccer and a trip to the Air/Space Center at Dulles tomorrow...time to load up on detail photos!

Speaking of which if anyone is looking for something specific let me know, the collection at Udvar Hazy is fantastic!

Darren, Im in the same boat as you. My bench time is geting shorter and shorter all the time. In the last month I bet I have got only three hours of build time in

Thad

Darren I practice Mrs Bear management during the week I did a bunch her jobs (She to has a looong list) and left the outdors stuff for the weekend where lo and behold the weather folks were right for a change and it rained.  Since I was such a good Bear she left me to my styrene and there was much rejoycing. 

Cheers

Bear

Looking forward to seeing some pics of that Spitfire Bear, I must admit I've got a bit of a thing for Spits

Now for a question, how come Mrs Bear goes out and does the shopping but doesn't leave you with a list of mind numbing household jobs that's longer than your arm, because that's sure what happens in my house.  My only chance to model is after the entire tribe has gone to bed.

Cheers

Jay that's it your toast  enjoy all the fidly bits. 

Yukky weather on saturday & my wife out shopping means only one thing play day for Bear.  I started work on the Airfix MK Vb and the putty has been flowing.  The wing assy is done and I'm adding the PE (yes I'm toast to) bits to the interior fuselage I'm also trying to figure out how to build up the PE cockpit.  Eduards does not make a set for the Airfix kit so I'm using a set for the Tamiya Spit and adjusting.  I hope it comes out ok.  I'll post some pics this week.

Cheers

Bear

Guys, I think I'm on that slippery slope! I got my fist bit of photoetched for the Bf-110 I'm doing for the BoB GB and I'm afraid of what is happening to me!  Someone told me last year when I first got back in that it starts small, them bit by bit you get more and more, then suddenly you're spending most of your disposable income on AM goodies!  aarrggh!

It's all downhill now Jay!

Scott, I just started with Resin a few models ago, so far just little stuff like wheels on one, seats on a couple others, radial engine on another, I have yet to try a cockpit set like the airies or such.  Remember that you must use superglue!  And washing the part is good to get rid of the mold release agents or else the paint doesn't adhere to the piece and looks funny.

Working with Resin is just like working with Plastic, only different .

Man I am right there with you...I understand it is not too steep, just very slippery!

LOL  That's what I'm afraid of....    

I have broken the seal on the Tamiya Mustang.  Should start on the pit tonight.  I also checked out the Loon models fuselage.  Real nice quality, should be pretty interesting, never done a conversion before.

My son (Trmn8tor) is moving along quite nicely, we may be finsihed by the end of the week.

Darren, Jules,  Thanks guys.

Darren, it's the Hasegawa 1/48 kit, the NMF is all Alclad2 & the decals are from Cutting Edge.

STILL waiting on the postal service if the kit doesn't show in 2 weeks I'll look for something else to build

Chris My bad mate, things have been a little hectic here and i've only just managed to post your kit so don't go looking for another because you will have it in a couple of weeks...BTW i had to have a little look at it and i think your gonna like the kit, typical accurate minituares quality, sorry it's taken so long to get it on the move...

Rick That is one stunning looking Mustang, very nice indeed

Wow nice build Rick .  What did you use for the BMF and whose decals did you use bucause they look great.

Cheers

Well, got my build done.  How the rest of y'all coming along ?

Just kidding, it being April Fools Day here .  The Stang was built for a GB on another Forum, but it is in Eagleston's markings.  I'm doing his P-47D for this GB & thought it would be interesting to have a model of both of his mounts.
