Not an expert, but I think you are right to re-paint in the blue shade.

It's looking good, Kev!

Maybe not the weld, but are you going to add the bug?

Waldron, Model Technologies, Verlinden did jet buckle sets, too, all OOP. If you do a search on eBay there are several available quite cheap (like $3).

Awesome!

I drink tea, too. Never got a taste for coffee. My daughter blends and sells her own teas, so I drink her loose-leaf teas. On a blackberry tea kick right now. When we had our vacation through the UK and Scotland, we often took afternoon tea with biscuits and scones. I drove the restaurant servers in Scotland nuts, though, as I always took my tea (there, typically Earl Grey) "black" - no milk or cream, no sugar. They thought I was nuts, or maybe uncivilized. Awful the floods in Texas. Worse case scenario, it happening between 2:00-3:00 AM, so when the alarms went out not many ever heard it. That a girl's camp was right in the path was horrific. Apparently, the camp owner died trying to save the girls. Amazing what the Coast Guard swimmer did.

I think they also use magnets to hold the inserts that allow you to change from landing gear down to landing gear up. I don't recall exactly how they worked that out and am away from the stash, but David Mooney used it to vary the display of his Mustang "Diablo."

Happy Birthday!

I am looking out for a pic of a Pak 40 with two different type wheels. Haven't found one yet, but you would think it occasionally happened.

I think several subcontractors supplied wheels, so there are many types. Also, they used different wheels for horse-drawn artillery vs. vehicle towed guns.

Happy Birthday!

It was one of my first Tamiya kits, too!

I see the two tones, it looks good!

Yup. Been to several Native American sites, there are tons of them. Two of the more interesting ones are Casa Grande which is a large adobe structure that after it was abandoned (I think the river dried up) it became a stagecoach stop for the area. Initials and dates were carved into the adobe by passengers waiting, some as far back as 1860's. The other is a ruins site much farther north not too far from the Grand Canyon. This one was partly rebuilt by the Forest Service in early 1900's but since then they are letting it go back to ruin. What's fascinating about it is a large depression in the rock outside the ruins, almost like a small amphitheater, that has natural caverns or tunnels below it. As a breeze blows, you can feel cold air blowing out of the rock. Like natural air conditioning.

Another awesome 'Stang! May I post it on the website?
