Hmm, he gets a set of Sherman tracks and what does he work on??? :laugh:

Looks great, buddy! I couldn't help myself while I was reading your last post, hearing you saying "I'll show them sumbitches" Excellent stuff! :drinks

Looks good Bob! Eh where do the tracks go.

Well the thing is a tank...hard to get a comparison of size to the Mustang.

 

[moon puppy]

Well, I decided to go with AlcladII...or BMF.

 

[moon puppy]

I have decided! It will be a matt BMF with polished sections on the wings. Now...how to mask without lifting the BMF? Parafilm ?

 

[jknaus]

Post it notes?

[moon puppy]

That's an option James. Trying to find where I can get some Parafilm locally.

 

[Sharkmouth]

I remember using Parafilm once. Stretched it to use. Placed it where I wanted. Forgot to remove it and the paint cured. Screwed up the finish. Operator error for sure but something to look out for...

Regards,

Duly noted Saul, thanks.

I'm usually not patient enough to let paint cure when masking so this won't be a problem.

And suddenly, I lost a lot of realestate on my work bench!

And I chickened out on the BMF. Started, did the wing tip and a couple of panels in and realized I was going to need a LOT more sheets. Then I looked at all those AlcladII bottles I got, nope, going with what I know. I'll have it primed in the next day or three.

Yep those puppies are big!

I might not know much about aircraft builds,but I really like what I see here when going through the pages of this build MP!

Jeez,that's a BIG bird.

I'm thinking you might need more shelves Bob ......

 

[moon puppy]

I might not know much about aircraft builds,

Neither do I Ron!

Plenty of shelf space Chris, must may have to move some shelves around to fit it! Think the landing gear are going to be nice and snug on this one.

 

[phantom II]

Good thing to hear. I hate it when landing gear don't fit like they are supposed to

Cheers, Christian B)

 

[moon puppy]

Thinking about the load out. The racks don't really fit well on the big gas tanks, might go with the 250lb bombs but Trumpeter made them look weird with some sort of strap around them.

You know Bob I have been looking at this now for the past few days. Every time I look I go and price out a kit. Then I look for markings. Your killing me buddy :laugh:
