Very very nice! Excellent job on the rigging.

That would be a hoot! All of my dads side of the family are from the coal counties of southwest Virginia. Unfortunately I’m the last male of the family.

Nice! I built that very same kit years ago. I used high E guitar string for the rigging between the spats.

This is an old build I started 7or 8 years ago. Just pulled it back out a couple of weeks ago and decided to finish it off.

Thank you sir.

I’ve been in a rut for a while but I’m slowly trying to make a new start at the bench. I pulled an old build out of storage recently and just started glueing shit together! Felt good too!’ I’m going to try to not get bogged down in the finish or fit or rivet counting I had done in the past to...

Thanks guys. I've been going at it slowly but here's some pictures to catch you up. My next step will to be masking all the NMF and the white off and shooting Fluorescent Red-Orange to the nose wings and twin booms. Ala Stay tuned this could be a monumental SNAFU or not :unsure:

Look to the right of the pilots seat. AC and pilot each had throttles , all were linked together with the FE's set

I recently got to do a walking tour of B-29 FIFI and B-24 Diamond Lil at my local airport. Basically I spent 8 hours taking pictures of everything I could get my little camera and phone to focus on. The back end of FIFI was closed off so i Couldnt get in there but managed to hold the camera...

12 Oclock High and Combat. My two favorites.

They put me on Plavix at first but then had me in for a angioplasty. Then put me on Xarelto. After you get used to your piss looking like cherry Koolaide its not so bad. Enough of an old man crabbing about his meds. Some little bits of progress to show . Even with my opti visor and tri...

Thanks Bob, it's good to be back. I had to have some surgery last fall to fix some circulation problems in my legs and the Rita went into the hospital for a week. We are both fit as fiddles now but its been a bumpy ride this past year. in the midst of all that my mojo just up and disappeared...

And you've known this how many years????? :yipee

This is gonna take some time but be patient with me update will be forthcoming.
