Pardon my ignorance, but what is a JBD? Thanks, Gary S.

This is turning out great. Gary S.

Stripes on the flight deck are done and then used lead pigs to try holding it to the hull making itlook like a four s tracker. Dry fitting looks good until glue is used and then the fit turns to CRAP !! The flight is now taped off and more gray will be painted on its edges. ARE WE DONE YET. Gary S.

Looks good to me. Love the bird art. Gary S.

So far so good. Gary S.

I just saw a video about the shark mouth versions on Guadelcanal. They were P-400's of the 67th fighter squadron and they had a different exhaust and armament. Nice work so far and great pics. Gary S.

Painted the dark gray yesterday and pulled the tapes off to show the stripes. Next I have to figure out the yellow dashes on the center stripe. In the photo the island and flight deck are just placed on not glued yet. Gary S.

Wow!! Top notch!! Gary S.

Hope you can work the bugs out. I've always like the looks of this aircraft. My uncle flew them at Guadalcanal. Gary S.

Thanks! That's because it's still taped off. Yesterday the lower hull was painted a mixture of colors to make "hull red". At least what I think hull red looks like. Also yellow was painted on the flight deck elevator areas which will be taped off to make the warning stripes. Gary S.

Most of the deck stripes are masked off. Still need to do the elevators. Used quarter inch Tate for the black stripe on the hull. It may be a little too wide. Gary S.

Talk about realism. You nailed it. Gary S.

Decided to try my luck at making a hanger deck by using cardboard from a cereal box. It sorta works. I used the kit door closers to use as floor supports then caulked it in. Not sure if I like it or not having all of the elevators in the down position. The flight deck was painted white and the...

Very impressive. Museum quality. Gary S.

There you go, over thinking it again. Gary S.

"I don't think so Tim".😄 The fit is too bad. Meanwhile, more work done on the SS Bondo Queen. This is going to require multiple layers and a lot of sanding. I'm also contemplating adding a hanger deck if I can scrounge up enough plastic. Gary S.

After finishing the M-46 model, I wasn't sure what to build next. I was finishing reading a book ad out the 2nd Armored Division in WWII and starting a book by Gen. E. Harmon. So while I was waiting to be inspired, I decided to dust my models and room which was long over due. After rearranging...
