And a Very Happy Thanksgiving to all also. May it be a wonderous day.

Justin: That is some really fabulous work on your Corsair. Superb paint and weathering. Our compadres would be extremely pleased with your efforts.

Thank you all for the kind words!  I find the weathering the fun part....

 

I will work on getting shots of the completed aircraft up tomorrow, while waiting for glue or paint to dry on my weekend madness build....

Justin, that Corsair is looking superb. If I can get mine half as good I will be a very happy man.

    Don't worry Ferg, I got a dust buster that can hide our evidence of the joy ride. Not sure how to fix the odometer but if we fill the gas tank maybe Mustang will show mercy.

Alright gang. Got the interior tub completed. Holes were drilled in the tops of the door panels at the rear of the doors where the door lock knobs while be installed later on near the end of the build.

Doug...aka Rigidrider as well as Toshi used to get a kick out of scale auto interiors. Doug did build some cars eventually and I think ol' Tosh was considering it at one point.

 Every now and then people in business will take the time to listen to a consumer and make necessary changes. I spoke with Eric Oberhofer at Round 2 at the beginning of September in regards to the AMT 67 Mustang Fastback issues. One of the issues involved the tires that came in the kit which were Firestone Super Sports tires instead of the Firestone Wide O Oval tires that were on the box top. He had mentioned that he was going to bring this issue up in the next board meeting. Meanwhile I had received a set of Wide O Oval decals from a friend of mine on the forums. After removing the Super Sports logos from the sides of the tires and had applied those, however, they looked too big and I was left scratching my head at what I was going to do next. I decided to go down to Hobby Lobby and purchase another kit and use the Super Sports tires...........BUT............when I opened the box of the newly purchased kit I found..........a set of Wide O Oval tires now in the box!!!!!! A BIG shout out goes to Eric and the Round 2 team involved in making this change.

Before the change this is what came in the box....

 

and this is now what comes in the box. Here mounted on my newly painted & detailed wheels.

That inteior looks amazing!!!

And great customer service on changing out the included tires. As a non-car guy I'd never have known the difference.

Joe, you are just knocking out some truly stellar work. The interior really is some top notch craftsmanship. That is quite the wonderful ordeal with the wheels. Very impressive move by Round 2. They definitely make a difference. Keep it coming Bro.

I always loved these wheels on Mustangs. #2 in my book for looks, Halebrand being #1. Super nice work.

I would like to add this Mig-21MF for Lewbud. The wip is on the Larry Wolf GB. I was waiting for this kit to be finished, so it could be added. Thankyou.
