Chris I've done the cracked ribs thing a few years back so I feel for you.  Like Rick I'm glad to hear you're on the mend .

---edit---

Oops sorry Mike I forgot to make mention of your Wildcat, she's looking good, I'll look forward to seeing your bird with some paint on.

Cheers Darren

Well, it's certain I'm doing Tadeusz Sawicz's P.11c as I got the bombs version that comes with decals for Sawicz's mount and Aleksander Gabszewicz's too! It'll start as soon as I get back from Poland (the upcoming Wednesday)!!!!!!

P.S. I'ld like to know how to paste a badge into my signature, as I am totally clueless on this matter...........

Rudy, in order to put an image into your sig first off all, you need to make sure that your image is being hosted online, http://www.photobucket.com/ is a good service to use for this. Then, go into Update Profile and take the URL of the aforementioned image, and paste it between the image tags where it says signature. ([ img ][ /img ] minus the spaces obviously). And of course, preview the message to make sure that you have actually posted the image."  Oh and don't forget to save your changes once you're done.

Cheers

Derkerderkerderker........Well, I found a pic of Stanislaw Skalski's P.11c (7 1/2 victories more or less, fogot the link), and I want to know if anyone has heard of a company that makes decals for his machine, as none of the decals supplied are any good for his machine....... any help would be highly appreciated!!

Darren, if I reply to your pm, can you see my response?

EVERYBODY, now if I was really ambitious and had the time I would want to enter a P-38 ace.  I just picked up the Skymodels P-38 Lighhtning Part I set.  It is totally amazing! 

I bought it for Jandina III flown by Maj. Jay T. Robbins (22 victories) but it also has marking for 15 other P-38 F, G, H, J, and L's! many of them aces, like Bongs P-38L (without the picture of Marge), Richard West's P-38J and even a couple European aces like Maj Rob Rogers' P-38J and Paul Sabo's P-38J.  It also has a Captured P-38G in German markings and one for an Italian pilot!  If you're a fan of P-38's you should get this decal set.

Jay, sounds like a great sheet.  I'll have to try & track one down.

Regards,  Rick

Hey there Jay, no problems with the PM I received your reply but I haven't had a chance to read through chapters two & three just yet

Cheers

What's this, 2nd page? We cannot stand for this. In other words bump.

Well forthe first time on this build I have progress. I've dryfitted the office on the Wildcat but still need to get some detail painting done and then will post pics.

Joe

Looking forward to the pics Joe.

Regards,  Rick

Well here's the pics as I promised. There's lots of pics b/c if anything happens to this one I want to have lots of pics.

Hope you like it.

Joe

Looks good so far Joe.  Do you plan on adding seat belts ?

Regards,  Rick

I thought about it and tried but it just didn't turn out the way I wanted so no.

Greets All back from vacation and playing catch up

Joe That's one good looking Mustang you did a great job on it

Dave23, Jay, Bob, Mike & Ygmodler4  Great progress on your builds.

Progress report on the back up build it's assembled & the seems are filled, sanded ready for paint.  No if they can deliver & install my new garage door(next week I hope) then I'll be able to set up a paint shop area and get operational I can't wait.

Cheers

Bear

No prob ga.modelmaker.  I may not even be able to finish on time either. 

Two months to go folks!!

Yikes, 2 months to go ?  I'd better get off my duff & spend more time on the bench !

Regards,  Rick

Been pretty quiet here lately.  Everyone's busy with their builds, right ?  Actually I have been working on the pit for my Jug & it's almost ready to show the world.  Pics in a day or two.

Regards,  Rick

Karl The Nieuport looks great you did a super job on it

Cheers

Bear

Joe-nice job on the Wildcat cockpit.  Looking forward to seeing more pics as the build progresses.

Karl-another impressive build!

The P-51A is finished.  I had some fit problems that I believe orginiated with the cockpit component fit.  I should have spent more time getting that fit correct and I think the canopy would have fit better.  Also, I made the mistake of attaching the wing tanks before the landing gear.  Lesson learned!  Still a great kit.

A little too much epoxy around the canopy and some seam issues.  However, I'm happy with the weathering techinque I tried.  I had purchased a vacuum formed canpony but decided not to use it.  Just another reason to buy another Accurate Miniatures P-51!

Jay-thanks for hosting-how's your boy doing?

Karl, very nice work.  Great looking little Bipe.

Bob, the Stang looks real good.  Nice work.

Regards,  Rick

Bob The Mustang looks great , you did a super job on it.

Cheers

Bear

Finished up the pit for my Jug. Mostly OOTB except for PE seat belts & Instrument panel.

Regards,  Rick
