I just cleaned up my hobby room and really need to spend a bunch of time working on my whole house, then the garage, attic, yard. Yeah. I start my radiation treatments Monday the 4th, first of 33 which will be 5 a week till done. Going to suck before it is all done I am sure.

Had a nice chat with Bob and James. James had a couple of nice new kits that he showed us the link to the company about a week ago. Bob was building on his Bazooka Piper. I built on my sFH18 artillery piece and made some decent progress on a correction to the kit.

Yeah, I have had to do a couple of repairs on mine over the years. The first repair they put a carbon steel ball bearing in the check valve from the compressor to the tank. The ball rusted and it wouldn't hold air. fixed it with a acrylic part I made that has worked perfectly ever since. It...

I was digging through some big boxes and ran across the old 1/32 Revell Bf110 Night Fighter with the nose antennas. (all there, unbuilt, no original box) I had forgotten I had it even. I also have the Dragon 1/32 Bf 110 night fighter kit as well.

Welcome back Joe! So you have made some progress on this. Looking good so far!

I am curious about the zimmerit tools. They look to be really nicely made, but with the wheels, how do they work? You are going to have to give us a show and tell on them.

John might be right there with lighter. All day sun near the equator (N Africa) would tend to bleach all the coloring out, even the green line work.

Nice looking pups John.

Now that's COOL!
