Pearl 2017..Getting Close Now for an update on the 1/72 B-18. The wings and the wing roots are now attached, puttied, cleaned up, and now painted. This kit has been a major chore all the way through. Next will be to get the markings on, some custom, and then finish out the small...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Painting Ok second part. After several sessions I was not particularly thrilled with the look and went back and carefully sprayed some Testors Olive Drab from the square bottle to give it a bit of warmth. A couple of things I am pretty happy with. The...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Painting Folks finally back to give a bit of an update. First up is to let you know that this has actually progressed quite a bit. This will show you the first few stages of the painting. First was a Flat Black overall coat then into the color. Model...

Pearl 2017..Oh My God!!!! Interesting. Many years ago I tried to purchase the Williams kit. Sent in the money to the vendor and later found out that after I sent it in they went out of business. Money was never returned and no kit. Live and learn. Joe

Pearl 2017..Oh My God!!!! Well folks everything was moving along smoothly. The interior went in with no fuss. Although way off it will work when all the "glass" is installed. The fuselage looked to be a pretty simple project to close up. And then the honeymoon came to an abrupt...

Pearl 2017..The Beginning Thank you for looking in. Joe

Pearl 2017..The Beginning One of the earliest things I learned in this hobby, with aircraft assemble then paint. With the cut aways I found that if I was careful I could get the different sections of the fuselage and wings painted prior to assembly to avoid all the masking. I got the fuse...

Pearl 2017..The Beginning Well here is a quick follow up to the intro. I would show you a couple of pictures of the sprue but to be honest I dislike those as they really show nothing. For myself I like to see some progress. As the title says it is the beginning. First up, I rarely do...
