Too lazy. Ill get some up tomorrow

I have this kit that a friend gave me last year and I really dinked it up paint wise, which leaves me to remove a lot of dark olive green. I have this problem where the wing to fuse joins. It shows every picture that I see with a prominent step which would explain having a wing fillet attached...

I don't know if I've shown these yet, but here are some pics of a couple of my latest builds from a year ago.

I thought I would shake the trees to see how many squirrels fall out. I have been kinda out of if for the past year or two, but I think I have got all my issues licked. Issues with my health, my wife's health, drama with my granddaughters, and a couple of new great grands hatched a couple of...

That does look as if it belongs in the Paddy's Garage.

I barely remember him, then again, I barely remember yesterday. I quit using Vallejo because it would not perform like I wanted, and I ruined a good airbrush with Windex because of the ammonia. So, I just keep on with Tamiya and the other acrylic lacquers, Gunze, AK and the like.

I put the 229 back in the box because I wanted to be able to actually have time to work on it, since it is a fairly involved kit. So, in the meantime, I started this big spitfire kit. This is the first Airfix kit that I have got this far with. No unfixable issues and the only seam that I find is...

It has always been difficult for me to comprehend the fact that those are models that you built, Paddy. Your attention to detail and accuracy are off the charts.

I really wouldn't know, Saul. I haven't messed with anything like that.

I just can't seem to find any 3D files for a 24 scale seated RAF or RAAF pilot figure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I decided to start this kit now because if I didn't, I would never get around to it. So far, the kit assembles fairly well, but the instructions are lacking in the information area. Case in point. You get a choice for part G 50 or G 51, but for what reason? After about 30 minutes of searching...

I pulled the trigger on this today.
