Thanks guys. James, I plan to just prime them and then paint them black and add a little wash and dust on the tracks and wheels. The pics I saw were the same. Some were dirty and dusty but I didn't see any that showed any hard wear and tear.

So, a week went by and turned into six. Got started on the tracks: I didn't take a pic but I have an about 5 inch length done so far. It sucks because I was in my groove yesterday and rolling right along when I got pulled away all of a sudden. I'll get back to it today.

Tamiya 1/48 P-47D Bubble Top - A dio in a box ! Fantastic job, Phil. That looks simply stunning. :notworthy:

All Righty ... What are you doing today ? Getting ready to do the first grilling of the season. First up for this year, pork chops. Oh, and its a clouding, windy, rainy, blustery day. I am dedicated to my craft and my daughter since she got all bent out of shape when I said I was just going to...

HEY! :smack

Man, those kits look great! :dude :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Yeah, it looks really nice but I have a few complaints. I will not air those complaints since there is a certain someone apparently monitoring my every post and waiting to admonish me and or lock the thread any time I open my mouth. So, yeah, great kit. Can't wait.

I'm building this:

Excellent! I love the pics. :drinks

I've gotten all of those emails too. Its all "This Company VS. That Company" and its all junk or ridiculous prices. "Hey. you can buy a Tamiya 1/48 Mustang for the low, low price of 28.00(plus shipping)". Meh, I can grab those all damn day off a vendor table for 10 bucks. As I have said...

Looks good to me. Nice job on free-handing the camo. :good

All Righty ... What are you doing today ? Awesome :drinks I'm knee-deep in Diablo III. The new expansion kicks every sort of butt.

While I don't hate Squadron, I do agree that their sales are almost always useless in that it is a markdown of an already inflated price, or its things that very few people want (i.e) 1/48 armor, 1/144 aircraft, back issues of magazines, A/M sets for off the wall subjects, or kits that are known...

Really? So they want to charge for the thing I get once a month or so, quickly leaf through and toss in the trash? I haven't liked it since they started scattering the sales all over instead of putting them on the last couple of pages. And as has been already pointed out, the website is free to...

Well done, Olaf.

Pit is done: The first time I tried one of these, the PE is what caused me to throw up my hands in frustration since it was impossible to get the fuse' halves together without knocking it all off. For whatever reason, it was all too damn big. We'll see how this goes tomorrow. Thanks for...

So let me get this straight, you have no airbrush, right? You brush painted everything? That is very, very impressive, Olaf! If I try to hand paint anything but little switches and knobs and the like, it looks like garbage. That is a build that I would happy to put on my shelf. :thumbsup

Thanks, Ryan. The Brassin set was really nice, but if I ever do it again, I won't build up the cockpit as a "tub". I would glue the sides to the sidewalls of the 'fuse and go from there. It was a pain to get it all aligned correctly. The problems I had can partly be attributed to me never...
