Got the seams puttyed, but ran outta time to sand. YeeHaw sanding party tonight. I told this in another thread but thought you'd like to hear it also. Was gonna take some pics, but when i went to use the camera it started smoking on me. Fried circuits because my 3 yr old twin boys decided to use it as an underwater camera. I was ticked at first til i remembered some of the stuff i did at that age. Then it was rather funny to think about.

Yeah-yeah, blame it on the kids Ya probably smoked it with all the pics of that kit yer buildin'!!

Of course, kids will be kids

if it laughs at you, just hit it, but make sure it doesnt aim to a model and/or its opened.

my yak-3 is going very well. has an excellent fit, good detail and its very easy to brushpaint. now im waiting the brown cammo's part dries. here i have the pics of the cockpit. for my standards, its a really very good job.

I havne't been on for awhile because of work. Plus i really am scared about having to use putty for the first time on this bird.

The seams are on the top behind the pit, and the bottom in the same area. My hands are already shaking because i just baught some Squadron white putty and it's laughing at me

Hey Guy's, well I finally got back from my holidays and all I can say is wow to all the progress. I will have to put in some overtime to get caught back up with all that is going on. That will be a little hard as my SS gift was a C-47 from GulfstreamV. Really great kit but going to take a lot of work. I am looking forward to building this one.

There is a lot of great things that can be done with this one. Thanks GV.

On this pic you posted, it that Yellow right ? I could only find some black and white photos of that and I can't tell what color it is. So I need to know........
Thanks
Bud

Bud,

Hippy Ed is correct, that is an O2 tank and is insignia yellow. Ed, thanks for the kind words! Here are a couple more prog pics - had pretty much all day to work on the Mustang today as it has been too rainy to do much else!

More progress pics soon! Thanks for looking!

Well, I FINALLY got started on my P-51A (thanks once again to my S.S., Flippersdad!) This is about 2 hours work so far, painting and first wash of the front office and wheel wells. Still need to dry brush with silver before I start assembling. This is a great kit, I have several different Acc Min kits in the stash, but this is my first build from them, and I am impressed! More prog pics will follow!
