Outstanding! Now put them in your display case quick before you have to start dusting them!

It was tedious but it's done, picture as soon as i have a minute home while i still have natural lights the basket challenge was nothing compared to chosing the colour of the wood base. I have no freaking idea -

Thanks guys. A little more involved than I recall. Will have to but some thought into this. I think I can come up with something. May not be exactly correct but better than nothing. Think this feature has been overlooked. Don’t recall seeing it replicated on many builds.

Shameful of me. I’ll post in make the others jealous as soon as i get around a computer the next few days. Styrene mostly. And brass lol!

Outstanding paint job!! Wow! Cheers Alan

Indeed. I had to find other things to read in the small hours during my nightshift. The horror. Did end up solving the problem of what to get a few people for Christmas though.

Has to be a Wespen Geschwader set of markings in there, thats the law no? I'm hoping so anyway.

Thanks for all the work to get us back up! Dan

i feel ya, if things change let me know

Fair enough Kevin, but I just really dislike creating partitions, even with the Easeus software I use. But it has to be done with 32 but systems as you run into the 2 TB ceiling that is the limit such systems can address. I'd been vaguely hoping the UEFI mobo software would include a technical workaround like the olde Windows 98 fix for large capacity drives. But of course it cannot and doesn't, so the change to a 64 bit system was unavoidable without returning the board and taking a backward step. And it's a no-brainer to populate the system with an array of 4 and 6 TB drives that are plug'n'play'n'ready to go. I just wish RAM prices would fall as they've been high for quite some time now and I'm sticking with what is now only a modest 12 GB (and I recall when a 12 GB hard drive step up from a 1 GB drive was like, wow). As for a super-duper new graphic card, forget it. At least until the bitcoin bubble bursts and the mining frenzy subsides a little.

Good to see you all back.

It's sort of surprising to me how frustrating it can be to be denied access to this site for hours.

Curious how many were chosen for Squadron's

Same thing exactly for me. -
More progress with the SM, all's going quite well so far so I'm..... cautiously optimistic I plan to assemble this a s a complete unit, paint and detail it and then fit it in position. I've dry fitted the cannon and the angle looks about right though I won't know for sure until the canopy is on of course. There's a little wriggle room but not much: As some light relief I've made a start with the wheels. The kit ones are fine but I already had these Airwaves ones from when I was intending to build the Revell G4, so they are now cleaned up and have a coat of black primer on them:

I agree, and I'm not all that thrilled about the situation either, but that's the way the ball rolls for me these days.

Thanks fellas. I really appreciate you guys comments. This build all started around 3 months ago for a friend of my son Joseph. He received this kit for a birthday gift and after coming over to the house, asked me to build it. The kit is an old mold and is quite crude in quality but I think I managed to work some of the bugs out of it anyways. I didn't do a whole lot of research on this car and the avid enthusiast will be able to pick up on that pretty quick but still I'm pretty happy with the turn out. I've just about perfected my painting method on autos and I got ALOT of practice with bare metal foil. Thank you to all who followed or commented along the way with this build. Engine photo and drivers side photos coming soon. The engine photo had a dang dog hair in the middle of it and I forgot the drivers side photo shot. Now............onto the 454 SS build....

Excellent! That is one dirty birdy.

Thanks for the correction!

Oh yes, Squadron was my "go-to" place for many years too, and now I almost never order from them. Prices that frequently aren't all that great, severe lack of stock and shipping charges that are more often than not, stupidly high, so now Sprue is my default preference. -
Wow!!! and I DO mean me some WOW!!! Brilliant work and good show!!!

Airfix News Just in from Telford: 1/24 Hellcat!
Out2gtcha replied to LSP_Kevin's topic in LSP Discussion
Thanks Richard! I may take you up on that offer when I acquire one. Id love to do an in-flight display on the ceiling of my workshop. -
WOW Dennis, that looks utterly amazing. I can also see why everyone who reads this now wants to bust out their Ki-84! Really turning out the doggies danglies man
-
Yep, known issue w/the slowness, and seemingly nothing we can do about it really, other than to engage GD.com. Its been so slow for me that I normally load an LSP page, then have to go look at something else while it loads.
-
You cant tease us and keep us in suspense like that my friend......................... Crate of what?!??
-
Im hoping a server re-boot may at least help some of the slowness Ive personally been seeing the last few days. For me the site has been as slow to respond as its ever been................sometimes to the point where I load a page and then have to go look at something else while it loads. Today, a bit better, but still only about as fast as molasses in winter outside.
