Excellent and yes, very speedy work Raptordriver!   Kenny, does he get an award for first one finshed??  Since we had a turtle award (whowon that by the way? ) doe that mean there is a Hare award?  Sounds awful though... maybe the flash award.  Okay its late and my brain shut down long time ago.  Goodnight!

yup wing nut got it last year i will have to make a new one

That's always the trick, isn't it?

Luckily, the PF version of the MiG-21 had a forward-hinged canopy, seen here:

So it should result in some decent viewing potential. 

Everybody's stuff looks realy great!   Thought I would show you some progress on the PT boat.  The hull part is finished.  The deck and everything on it is just dry fit. Some serious seams on this thing.  Mr. Surfacer is now my friend.

paul she looks awsome you are doing a great job!

so would anyone like to explain to me how mr. surfacer works i have never used it before. what does it do ? do you sand it? i know there are different grits like sand paper so please help lol

Looking real good paul   may I ask what colours you used on the hull?  As for the MMclear coat I wish I had an answer because I'm having the same problem.  I've been thinking about experimenting by mixing it with future to get more of a sheen to it. 

Dupes, great looking seat can't wait to see the rest of it.

thanks rmv for the tip

no clue  i had the same problem time to move onto something else for me too

Great loking boat RMV. Can't wait to see further progress pics.

Kenny, I use Mr Surfacer on seams where the is a slight nick or depression. It fills it in and can be sanded flat afterwards. I have also seen it used on plastic to give a fabric effect finish. Paint it on, let it half dry and then stipple it with a brush.

The PE parts are mostly fitted on the cockpits part of the 162 now. PE is great, but boy is it small! The carpet ate a couple of small parts, but luckily there were spares on the PE fret. Pics taken using wife's camera - I'll have to use mine next time as the quality is better.

Next is building the main u/c bay and then the fuselage can go together.

Awesome awesome work Dupes, RMV, Paul. 

You guys had a productive weekend!
I slacked off... well, not true: I was working on other projects.

I agree!

I've been having some problems with my computer so I couldn't get any pics up, but now it seems to work fine (I hope). I've been doing a little on my Typhoon.

The cleaned up enginge parts.

Assembled and painted black.

Some more painting. I'm thinking of painting details in black and aluminium.

Intake and engine wall

I also painted interior walls in two colors.

I also did some freehand painting with the airbrush. Just for fun and practice

I had to work this weekend but still got to fill and sand. I've got the Merlin engine half complete and primed. Mr. pilot guy is kinda together and is about 1/2 squadron green putty. I used the super glue - baking soda method of seam filling on the engine. There's a good article on how on the Internet Modeller site.

 I also use Mr. surfacer 500 on small seams. I'm not really sure how to clean the brush after using it. I have been using nail polish remover with ok results. Does anyone know exactly what to use?

For my flat coat I found that Krylon matte finish works well right out of the rattle can. No complaints about it.

Wow, lots of progress from everybody...looks like it was a good weekend!

Got some stuff done while watching football, but nothing worthy of pics. Snowing like mad here right now, so it should be a productive week.

Nice stuff fellas!

Hope and Wishes....  Now those are words to live by!    Like I hope I can get thes decals on without tearing them or having them go all silvery on me.  And Wishes... Like I wish some one would make a B-52 in 1/48th

or a S-100 in 1/35

or... it would just be super cool to do a USS Ward in 1/72

and last but not least, I wish my wallet could afford the Dora Railgun in 1/35

Told you I liked stuff big

After viewing your previous  builds, I would love to see you tackle those in super scale. It brings up the the age old question about what to give the man who has everything?

The same thing you would need after building those gargantuans................

Someplace to put it all.

Tony, Who will never pick on Paul
