have a good one, Guy

i can Pm me

thanx, Jari but i dont have a problem closing it, its like with gearbays, i dont pick up a finished model anyway

working on the waistgun and chute

since i am not displaying the bombbay open i assembled the main parts of it and glued it to the fuselage. then i started detailing the inner fuselage. those late Hs had the sidewindows removed and just an air deflector fitted, so the interior is pretty visible. the kit has no details here, so i started busying it up with plastc strips and leftover PE

tea drinker here too (shouldnt normaly start the day with wine, me thinks) loose leaf indian, ceylon or sumatras are my favorties, have a soft spot for first flushes. always with milk mornings and at lunch

thanx guys!

if anybody has pics of the jumpseat in the cockpit that would be great i found that two tanks from the ancient revell Nakajima kit can be converted to the radar pod i will use HVARs leftover from Pauls panther kit i drew/cut the decals (you can see the hubcap decal on the right) Ernies build over on LSM gives some details. i will keep the bombbay closed, so i dont have to source parafrags stay tuned

since i started doing scale models again i thought i would concentrate on modern jets, but due to some other subjects becomming availible i started to do props too. first Korean war subjects, now WW 2 stuff too. i have a Liberator, a B-17, a Mistel and this i want to do a Marine PBJ because i love the blue/blue/white cammo and lotsa guns i have some reference, but there are not many pics of these birds, maybe due to the short period thes were in action there was a set from profimodeler that is oop, but i think i can do without it, the decals are wrong anyway

pretty hard to take pics where the whole thing is on them

finally finished it and was taking pics immediately before i start braking off the static dischargers or the pitot (broke that one instantly)

have a good one

i use two component car putty. if i modify an existing part i fill it with the stuff, that mostly works for one pull. then fill the pull with putty and shape it. car primer out of the rattle can works for smoothing, then polish it. never had a temperature problem you can see how i did it in my Su-27 build: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/101462-digital-harm-shooter/page/6/

i take off my glasses and the guy in the mirror looks fine... have a good one

olivier left the site years ago....

struggling a bit with the flora names.... dont know about planes named potato or zucchini...

have a good one

Hmm, is it possible some of these kits fit better than others? there is a build going on on LSM that doesnt seem to have the problems you encountered....

my condolences to you and your family, Chris

who makes a rafale?

i have worked a lot to get a decent fit, but was only half succsessfull. i ruined some of the decals in the process, but luckily there are some spares and the "45" i printed myself. i had to clean the interior with microbrushes because of some dust that got in there, a real pain... touching up the paint was also very difficult, alltough the decals will hide some of the mess i am not sure if i didnt ruin the whole thing with this

is mr T also closing down Berkley?

anybody ever listen to the text of "fortunate son"?

not all hope is lost…. read my post above
