    I want to try my 1st Special Hobby LSP. I own...

    Some years ago I built the Azur Hawk 75 (SH plastic), and I remember it as not bad... maybe it's time that heals all wounds...

     

    Doing the Tempest right now and I hate the nose and the leading edge inserts... apart from that it's an ok kit.

    Also doing the P-39 now and it's ok - I didnt extend the tail (yet...)

     

    One thing that I find is a very good thing for short run kits is ALWAYS to give mating surfaces a swipe with the sanding stick. It seems to me that it helps a lot with bad fit...

     

    Have fun

     

    Sooooo... with all the Corona times Skypes meetings - how many of you look like this during the meetings :-)

    Ok before this goes too much into the cat direction, we need some counterweight

     

    I work in my man cave that also has a spare bed for when the daughter comes home. That is one of the favorite places for Osvald to reside when I'm working. This shot shows him supervising my sandwiches...

     

    Laptop is 90 degrees to the right from this shot, so you can see a model is always close by for a little tinkering when all the yapping becomes too boring. BTW 8 hours was a very special day, but very often I have 4-5 meetings of 1 hour each. PITA if not for the models

    Just keep the answers short and mostly meaningful.  Think yes , no.  Else things drag on. ;)  oh BTY are those 3D glasses?

     

    Meetings: yeah, but this one was a big project start up, lots of presenting of the parties and work packages.

     

    Glasses: just veeeery old optivisor type. Have thought about getting some modern ones...

    Kits You Want But know You Shouldn’t

    The Heller 1/100 HMS Victory... not that expensive, but once done it will take up an excessive amount of space, not to mention time.

     

    Apart from that I dont think I'll get any (more) of the 4 engined 1/32 planes. I think I've found a way to display the Lancaster I had to have, but I dont think I can think up space for one or more B-17's og B-24 even though I'd really love to do them

     

    Apart from that I'm solidly in SABLE territory

    Hi Ray, yes it's a -3

     

    I managed to find some documentation in Squadron Signals Walk-around. In there you can see the BuNo ranges that had the different cowls. It seems that the early is VERY early, so for instance O'Hare and Thach's planes were Late -3's. Anything before BuNo 3970 were early

    Hi Guys

     

    I've gotten hold of a Trumpeter Wildcat (late)... does anyone know if it has the parts to do an Early version (and what is the difference anyway??)

     

    Scalemates says that the Early and Late kit has new parts compared to the original, but exactly what I couldn't find

     

    TIA

    how old is your oldest shelf of doom project!

    Let's get the definition in place: Shelf of doom is where models that are given up reside. I don't have that. Given up, they go out. I do have a Shelf of missing mojo, and right now it's maybe 2 years for the oldest. In the past I've had one 5 years in the making

     

    BTW - if it still fits inside the box, it's not started for real :D
