  1. Thanks! I didn't know there were any fit/ build issues with the kit....probably why I didn't have any issues. Ignorance is bliss.
  2. As always; striving for mediocrity Thanks for looking
  3. The last few pieces have been attached to the model and it's officially got a fork stuck in it (done) The Reskit pylons and stores are installed; I'll find a clean spot and get some pics for RFI Thanks for looking Thanks to all who commented/ added images and contributed to my delinquancy
  4. I feel your pain…don’t know how many models I’ve wrecked with my clumsy grip or elbow swing I know for sure I’ve dropped a finished 1/32 Ju 88 during decalling A 1/48 Revell PBY and, MPM 1/48 Grief
  5. I don’t know much about thread drift but can anyone suggest a good place to get a nice lava lamp?
  6. A little more progress to report on. After three days (off and on work) placing some couple hundred decals (at least it felt like it) the markings and stenciling is all in place on the model. I have added the gear doors and landing gear and now it's looking a little more the business I'll need to add flat spots to the tires to call them done but, they're doing their job of keeping the thing up off it's paint. Thanks for looking
  7. I had the same thing happen with their Ta 154 Moskito then I realized the fuselage had/has a twist in it. I realized this when I saw another modellers build where he found the same issue and cut the fuselage in half behind the wing and induced a twist to straighten the empennage. I never fixed mine but used it as a “learning tool” to build the one I really wanted which was the Me 410 which I did buy and build and enjoy, but have since donated to the Legion museum….so a main stream…..or even a fast creek….muddy river? plastic Me 410 would be nice
  8. Great problem solving and coming along very nicely now you’re gonna win!
  9. Thanks for the positive comments! The tailpipes are painted with Alcad metal colors (mixed many shades till I was happy with them) then a RB Productions "splatter stencil" was held over the pieces and sprayed with Vallejo rust wash and Tamiya brown panel line highlighter for a rusty look Attention has turned to building painting and decalling the weapons and pylons, there's a lot of decals... the fun continues Thanks for looking
  10. Yes, have a great cake day…perhaps a cold beverage or two
  11. Still moving ahead, paint repairs done, gloss coat on and, assembly back under way Here's a bit of the left over tape removed from paint touch up; I was able to get the exhaust cans built and painted; a fair improvement over the kit part, not advertising for Reskit but the result pretty much speak for itself. and in place; Thanks for looking
  12. I'm thinking it'll be fine after a polish, gloss, decals, satin and, weathering. as well, the camera and the monitor seem to have altered the actual colors from true view aaannnddd.....after several hours cutting 6 to 8 mm squares from Tamiya tape to mask all the corners and touching up all the paint creep from the original masks (ok it doesn,t look much different really) I'm ready to continue adding the bigger airplane shaped parts and continue building work continues Thanks for looking
  13. Painting/ masking, painting, masking painting and removing masks...the inevitable need for touch up work next The vinyl masks don't lend themselves very well to compound curves and sharp protrusions. As well, I must have screwed up in placing said masks at or near the back of the cockpit opening as I have 2 masks left over that the instructions indicate should be placed near the right rear of the cockpit and down the side to the wing root extension...I haven't built a perfect model yet, why start now. I will probably spend the next few days cutting and placing small squares of Tamiya tape and fixing all my paint mishaps then, more assembly a wet sand and gloss coat for decals. I used a couple of different modellers sites for information on mixing the Tamiya colors I use to obtain the camouflage(?) colors but in all honesty I don't think they look right, I can live with it...but it seems off to my eye. Wait a minute.......(the lighting in my hobby room and camera could be to blame...looking over my shoulder at the model instead of these images it looks much better) And now since the masks were completely destroyed during removal I will have no choice but to live with it The fun continues. Thanks for looking
