Impeccable work, sir. My hats off to you!

That is a P-51 BEE John1.  I frequent Starbucks too. 

Great service from Volks USA, I order all my ZM stuff from there,

In the states, it looks like this now:

I've had a number of instances where I've had to strip Future, then re-dip. I dunk it in household ammonia for a couple of seconds, then rinse well. I'd give the old bottle a go before I bought new stuff. BTW, what does a bottle of Future look like these days?

Well......that's a great question. And I don't have a good answer.
 
The biggest parts that I have printed were the wings on my F-16xl.  They were quite rough. My little, cheap, printer doesn't produce a very smooth surface so I start by sanding the surface with 100 grit sandpaper. Then I apply some heavy primer and repeated this cycle until it gets smooth enough. What is smooth enough? It's smooth enough when you get tired of sanding.
 
On my F-16 I glued on a thin sheet of plastic to the top of the wing. This worked the best.
 
If there is some better method to smooth out the prints I am all ears.

While racers aren't my cup of tea, I'd be on board for a Skyraider. Best of luck to you, Shane - Paul's stuff is too nice to be lost forever.

B- 58 Hustler, i reallly, really hope I'm wrong.    

Thank you!  That's it!

I'm holding out for a 1/32 Spruce Goose.

I didn't think it would be an LSP.  At my LHS, the military models section has shrunk to 1/5th of what it was a year and a half ago.  Downright depressing.

Nope, I have the Revell kit , ZM kits are a little too much for me.
Have fun.

I need buy one of these kits too.  Please keep us posted about your build. 

My reason to be cheerful is this. It looks like I won't have my foot amputated. Such a relief. One more operation in 3 weeks and it should be sweet. 

I'll take the Tomcat for $800, Alex

Picked up my 4th Meng triplane kit. I am set for now.  

Is that why I start so many kits? So I don't get accused of being a collector?

I try to avoid acquiring more kits than I can ever build by rearranging my stash every now and then so that it looks like I have new stuff.  So far this hasn't worked all that well.

Well, out of the 350 unbuilt kits in my stash, I really want to build about 600 of them.
