no truer words have been spoken.

Bud welcome back,  Ogrejohn excellent

I'll echo everyone else.  Glad things worked out for you, Bud.  Kudos, too to Ogrejohn for the save!

Work/vacation has taken me away for a while, but I started painting the camo on my P-400 today.  No pics yet, but hope to finish in the next week or three.

OK I am BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!  hehehehe

Thanks for a GOOD Friend John " Ogrejohn "

Y'll can add me back into this GB.

I was sent a Academy 1/72, P-39Q/N Airacobra

Thanks again John and I will be post some pics up soon

Bud

Good to see that you got it and are back in the build. I'll be watching for those pics, can't wait to see them. I want to thank all for the honorary membership in the build. When I told my wife about the honorary membership with all rights and such she said " that's nice hon, don't forget to get the garbage out tonight." Wimmen, I guess just don't understand.

Glad I could help you Bud,

Ogrejohn

John pur wives must be related...mine says the same thing. They're probably just jealous that they aren't honorary members...

That's probably it, yet I don't think it would have been too much to expect a reply like " Tis good tidings indeed M'lord, trouble yourself not with the weekly refuse." Oh well, it was just a thought.

Look out folks!!!! Lone's on the Jazz again!!!

Looks good Bud Now Git 'er Done!!

Sorry for the lack of updates, but here Is where I'm at:

I'm somewhat disapointed with the PYNup decals...as you can see the nose art chipped in spots when it had a wrinkle, and I didn't know at the time that the decals didn't have there own carrier, so that presented an issue on the first decal since I didn't trim it down close and winded up screwing up the first set on the right hand side. On the plus side they are VERY thin....prob the thinnest decals I've ever seen. The chipping should be loads of fun to match up with :(

ScottD, That looks pretty darn good!!

West Coast Pogress Dawg reports that we are getting wet!! Seems Corporate office forgot to call the roofers So, Y'all east of Calif betta batten down the Hatches!!!! 

Nice work on "Cutie"!

I haven't touched mine in a few weeks. Still working that wing/fuselage seam......

tsk tsk.... how can ya be worjin' on it if ya aint touched it in a few weeks???

Now Git 'er Done!! Don't make me git the bat!!!

Looking good, Scott. I have a set of Pyn-Up decals that I haven't gotten around to using yet...thanks for the heads up about the carrier.

Scott, very nice!  Coming along beautifully.

I finally started laying down some paint on my P-400.  Here's a few so far:

I thought I had the door in pretty well, but the pics show I needed to give it more work.  Oh well, too late now!  For the green, I laid down a coat of medium green, then tried to overlay a splotchy coat of dark green to achieve a faded effect.  I'm pleased with the results overall, though I should have done the same to the dark earth before masking.  Decided instead to mix a little white with the dark earth for a lighter tone, then carefully mottle it between the green areas with the airbrush.  Hopefully, I won't screw it up!

Jeff, Scott, Dubau great work on the 39's looks like we should have a couple more finished real soon.
