WOW! What remarkable progress! Most impressive, and the quality is stunning! Way to go Man! I hope my efforts on my shelf queens are at least as productive.

Great progress, Frank. By looking at the dates on the photos I was 3 1/4 years from start to finish on my B-36!

Wow Frank! Quite the progress! Congrats on getting these shelf queens to the finish line. I know I have a number of them that I need to work on as well! :drinks

 

[Duke Maddog]

Indeed, amazing progress. You got me motivated to try and move forward on two of my most frustrating shelf queens to date. Pray I finally finish them! :frantic

 

[Frank]

Full speed ahead Mark.
I only work on them in small doses.
They become a bit of chore after a couple of hours.

Brilliant job on that Beagle! Amazing metal work. I always thought that was an odd looking aircraft with straight wings and well-swept tail surfaces.

Great job on the B-35. White is always a tough color to keep white.

 

[Frank]

Thanks Mark.
More on the B-36

Added props just to see what it will look like.

Thank you for looking in.

Well, this is the last work I shot pics of on my Boeing 737 before I finished it up. This is a model that has been on my shelf for going on three years now. It was time I finished it up.

I had gotten the decals on both sides of this 737, and when I tried to fix something, I gripped the fuselage in the wrong place and too hard:

Fortunately, I was able to fix it. The wrinkling however, is permanent; I had no way to avoid that or fix it so, I just have to live with it:

I had so many issues with these decals curling, all attempts to get them to lay flat failed. One side of the fuselage looks like someone's burnt face it is so wrinkled. So, since I couldn't get them to lay perfectly, I just continued on with this, clearcoating it with several more gloss coats, then installing the wings and landing gear and gear doors. "Old Burnt Face" is now completed:

You can see the wrinkled decals somewhat in the second pic. This is an excellent five-foot model!

Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.
