I never doubted you for a second.

Thanks Bob! Painting moves along slowly as enamels take a while to cure on LPP. That whole "Don't Rush the Chemicals" thing again.

Model Master enamel flat white, upside-down on the cutter parts. The distinctive WPC bow profile is evident. Painting started on the smaller boats. I made 2 Mk. 2 OTH boats. I don't know why. Pensacola lighthouse anyone? The castings are coming out very nicely! Make a purchase and get...

I wondered how The Expert would pull this off. Well done, John!

More help with obscure airpalnes. N461FM: '72 Helio H-295 It is super cool to see a Temco TT-1 Pinto in the air!! Some nut put a jet on an old Great Lakes biplane. That's just silly. A Bellanca Citabria or Decathalon. The weird fireworks-spewing airplane looks like a Rutan VariEze...

My hat is off to you! This is a fine build of a subject that quite took me aback from you! Bravo Paddy!

I still paint with a Testors Aztek. I'm on my 4th handle. I learned what kills them.

Fine progress, M'boy! :good:

Floquil Reefer Gray primer. This will also do for the gray deck color on US Coast Guard vessels.

The last DC-8? 747-8SP engine test bed. N9962Y 1963 Champion Lancer 402. L-39 Albatros! Run for your life! Do you suppose the sky-diver will make it all the way to the ground? The Candy Bomber! Yay!! actually a C-118. N171GB GB-1 Gamebird Aerobatic competition aircraft. 315 HP! Holly...

I posted this on X tonight. I realized I hadn't done a very good job of appreciating comments and encouragements along the way. I sure do miss "In Another World" campaigns. Maybe ol' Iron Mike will come back one day.......

The Postmistress brought a package from Japan yesterday. I just retired and I know money is tight right now, but I plainly lacked the ability to continue Life without these Sweet 1/144 model kits. I can see Sakai, Nishizawa, Ota, Tetsuzo and maybe Akamatsu as cats in the box art of the 70th...

A quick throttle adjustment and "Keine sorge, Mein Herr, Wiedersehen!"

You don't see a Waco YKS in the air everyday. The Schwalbe in the air is the coolest thing since Eugene Ely left the USS Brooklyn!
