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.

I'd like to get started...... man......

Work has been killing me. I get home and all I wanna do is just fall asleep. I need something to take my mind off of it.....

Maybe I'll build a model! Doh!

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

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.

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.

In an effort to keep the progress dogs from lifting their leg on my P-51A, here are the latest prog pics. Wings and horz. stabs are on, interior completed (added scratchbuilt seatbelts, but I'm not too happy with them) and wing seams puttied/sanded. Started adding brake lines to the landing gear also. Enjoy!

Sorry it took so long Drew....

Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player. Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off... the right pitch will come, but when it does, be prepared to run the bases.

Thanks again
