kopterdoctor Posted May 13, 2007 Author Posted May 13, 2007 Sorry guys My Dads been in the hospital. He had swelling around his heart. So I have not work on anything. He’s at my sisters now and doing ok. I’ll get back at it this week. Steve
LDSmodeller Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Steve Glad to hear your father is OK! Please pass on our regards/best wishes. I received my special hobby F2A-2 in the post today, (got a good deal!!!) Plan to make it a 488 Squadron RNZAF bird in Singapore WWII (best thing it's got pretty much all the parts mostly...to make it OOB.. (with few exceptions)) My own Dad passed away before any of these planes came out 1/32 scale (he was a LSPer long before me) so I will build it for him. Look forward to seeing more of your build Regards Alan
Allok Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Hey Steve. Sorry to hear about your dad, hope he improves soon. Sort of know where you're coming from, we've got my partners dad living with us. He's hard work sometimes but he's a hard case and I couldn't imagine him not here with us. Wouldn't worry about the model too much Steve, you'll get it done eventually! Oddly enough, I intend to do exactly the same thing as Alan with my F2 (When it shows up... it's got a long way to travel). Anyway, good luck mate. See you back when you're ready. Keith
kopterdoctor Posted May 20, 2007 Author Posted May 20, 2007 Hi Guys I’m back. Dad is doing great. Ok here’s were I am so far. Ya know if I finish. This it will be the first 1/32 I have done scent I was a kid. And that was a long time ago. Steve
kopterdoctor Posted May 20, 2007 Author Posted May 20, 2007 Last one Now for the canapy Wish me luck not my strong point Enjoy Steve
Loachnut Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Steve, Most importantly!!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear your dad is doing ok!!! The open cockpit Buffalo is looking good! Canopies? I put mine on with elmers white glue and a toothpick. Hopefully, I'll get some pics of my Storch uploaded soon. My first large scale since I was a kid. Jody
LDSmodeller Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Steve, Glad to hear your father is doing well!! Your buffalo looks great! What markings did you end up putting on it, (they look suspiciously like Marine Corp buzz numbers/letters). I agree with Loachnut (aka Jody) regarding your canopy, white glue will do just fine and if you make a mistake like getting it on the canopy, it will wash of with water and not mess up your canopy. Great build Alan
Erwin Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Looking good . You might finish the first allied plane to counter the Japanese attact in the gallery.
kopterdoctor Posted May 23, 2007 Author Posted May 23, 2007 Jody, Alan Thanks My dad is now at home and not at my sister Masking and Painting are my weak point.
