Oh and it wouldn't be a 51st state, it would be the 51st through 62nd states, and Quebec could go the way of California. Not that it would ever happen, just someone talking to stir up trouble and people getting wound up about nothing.

Happy Canada Day James.

No apologies needed Paddy. These are important issues with some rather expensive kits. They should be addressed, and the way I look at it, if you don't complain to the guy that is making the kits, he can never know to fix these issues. He will just assume that all is good and continue making...

Actually a LOT more than four. So here is the run down of the things that need to be fixed. Yeah, maybe some could squeeze by and be hidden but where is the fun in that? You guys should know me by now, gotta fix it right. So here is the new "additional" list added to the handles above. There...

Makes you wonder if the guy making the kits actually builds them to see if they will fit and hold up under their own weight.

Welcome George! I also build and collect a LOT of 1/32 aircraft. I also have a lot of everything else 1/35th and occasionally build smaller stuff. As I am a watchmaker by trade, I tend to go overboard on detailing stuff out. (can't help it, I see it, I have to fix it) Feel free to ask...

Farce Book has something similar with shorts that they run. I have gone down that rabbit hole a number of times. The good thing about it is that I have run across some really NEAT tools and suppliers that I would not have known about otherwise.

Looking good!

I did some research on my Pak 40 have a few things to go back and fix. Mostly just stuff left out, though a couple that should have been done better. Not big issues, but there are a far number of references out there including a Pak 40 that you can pay $1400 to push the "BANG" button. That...

I should be able to do so. Been a while.

I have (someplace) a packet of green plastic "booger sticks" but as usual "someplace" could mean I will find them tomorrow or in 6 months. Never really found a good use for them as they are sticky and I am so used to using tweezers that they don't work for me. Thus I am not too worried about...

I knew that as I have the B single seater already in 1/32. It will be getting the digital blue/grey Ukraine camo and markings. I will do the 2 seater in the soft edge blue/grey Ukraine camo. Then I have the Su-25 in the digital greys in Ukraine markings as well.

I went a little overboard, but am a sucker for decently made tools.

I got the jig, and a couple of other tools. I have been eyeing the ball vice for a bit. It is taken from a jewelry tool that is way, way more expensive. The only difference on that is the aluminum vice jaws on the top part. The ball is polished steel and it is quite heavy. I wanted the pin...

FOUR other things.

I found a three other minor things that need to be added in addition to fixing these. Once I started looking I couldn't stop. It's all on the legs and the breech had a minor blip that I saw and just fixed as I went along.

OK Bob, you know I have to fix things that are just WRONG. I just HAD to find "something" to fix and here it is. Ta-da I will remove these two handles and rework them off the model. Have been way under the weather the last couple of days and stayed home from work today. Slept till 3...

Yes the fit on my Pak 40 was overall good. There were a number of minor things where I needed to adjust parts to make them fit "better". Also this plastic is soft, so the WeldOn 3 I use can be quite aggressive if I overdo the application. One place where things were too tight were the pivots...

I have had it for 15ish years along with several other interesting pop cans. As they are kind of universal, it helps to convey sizes of stuff. I know the Panzer hull did it for you. Yeah, only just realized just how big it actually is when I assembled all the parts for this photo. It is...

Looks like I will have to fire up my lathe for those when I get there. Looking good Tim!
