Yeah, not a terrible kit at all...in fact one of the best IMHO from that era of Revell's 1/32 line. The wing root was a ***** to manage due to old parts with some warping, that and the front fuselage halves mated with a decent amount of tension, so there was some effort there. But otherwise it was a quick ride to the paint which is what I was focused on from the start.

Thanks everyone! I was looking at my giant stash and feeling like I either had to dump it all or make an effort to rekindle the hobby. Next up is another old Revell...

Looking to offload a few 1/35 armor kits. Can anyone recommend a good place/site/community to post them?

Warthunder is a pretty great game, the biggest differences between those titles are that WarBirds and WWIIOL are persistent battlegrounds, where Warthunder is more lobby and match-maker based discrete battles. In sim mode, however, these are almost 3 hours long, so there is still the flavor of a persistent battleground. At least for THAT long But the flight models are very good (at least in Simulation mode) and the graphics are nice, and of course, using a VR rig...well... I AM THE PILOT

Hey guys! Negative on the completion...and the sob story goes like this... relocated (again!!!) all model stuff is in boxes in the garage basement remodel on deck (framing, electrical, sheetrock, painting...oh my!) Needless to say, it won't be done anytime soon. But having you guys ping this thread has given me a smile. Great to know that LSP is a home away from home, even if that away is a long time. Thanks for the note...I'll ping back when I do get set back up...and the lightning will be top of the bench! Another distraction is flying US fighters in Warthunder in Virtual Reality...now THAT is a time sink!!!!!! :D

Jon, Just finished Aces High on your recommendation, what a great story. While I knew most of it in tidbits it was fascinating seeing the two stories unfold together along with Kerby, Boyington etc. Got the juice flowing again!

Ok ok! Yes indeed I've made progress. I'll snap some pics this weekend and pick up the thread, thanks VERY much for checking in. It is...uh..."motivational"

I wish I had time Alan!!! I've just cleaned up the hobby area again, thinking of either a quick OOB to get the juices flowing, or dive back into this one...pondering...

No plans to attend yet it's all I can do to get one show per year these days

We drove down from the Bay Area, just the two of us. My dad entered a 1/43 Porsche 917 and got a 2nd place. That sheep dio was really nice too, with the German SPG. Very well done.

Thanks Vandy, He won the kit at last year's Valley Con (where his 1/16 MPC 'Vette took first place). Believe me, it's all him, he's just like that. The type of guy who's really good at anything he tries pretty quickly. Wish I'd have checked in here before we went I could have met you guys!!

Thanks Kevin, I'll tell him ...although he's heard a lot of that these past few days! Here's a shot of the bottom:
