I figured as much Paddy. With the material that soft, I would be hard pressed to pass out the $$ for it. I am pretty picky anymore about even buying aftermarket landing gear after the experience with the G-Factor gear I got for the 1/32nd Ju88 kit. Turns out I was able to rebuild the kit...

Glad to hear it was only a timing thing that they were able to fix. If everything else is good otherwise, that is at least a positive thing. I know my heart rate drops to about 60 when I am at full rest in bed, maybe a touch lower, otherwise it is up about the 70-80 mark. I really should go...

Always liked this plane. Built a Guillows flying model back in high school. Have no idea what happened to it.

Paddy it also looks like the sway bar for the suspension acquired a bend on one side. The left side of the vehicle. (would be on the drivers side here in the US)

Glad to see you here Los! All are welcome and we enjoy visiting, sharing, and helping each other with our builds. Looking forward to seeing what you have been working on.

Back in the day (1976-1977ish) when Monogram came out with the (huge at the time) B-24J in 1/48th scale I got a decal sheet that had this wolf's head and built it up with it. I believe the decal sheet was Micro Scale and probably have the leftovers still to this day (someplace).

Same boat Saúl, though (so far knock on wood) I am running a bit on the plus side of finances. Really need to weed down a bit on crap though before I start prepping to move back to Oklahoma.

That Ian!

I have loved the Lysanders ever since I saw one of my mom's old high school text books from WWII. So far so good Alex! Good to see you posting again.

They went away a couple of years ago. This is a completely new setup. From what I understand the original owners sold out and the new ownership never upgraded any equipment or anything and ran it into bankruptcy. I will have to call my buddy in N Carolina and get an update as he is involved...

Shapeways is back with the original (?not fully sure on that) ownership, and they are rebuilding it from scratch. I know a couple of guys, one in Netherlands, and one in N Carolina that had a bunch of stuff in the old Shapeways and are involved with the new one. One of them, I talk with fairly...

You have to be careful as clear can mean gloss and will still show up. I got dinged for glue on my Me410 landing gear at Chattanooga.

LOL! I am becoming more and more of that frame of mind Bob. I loved the meet a month or so ago and yesterday morning was a hoot! This has become my model group and I don't even much bother with the local club any more. I know there are some folks that are around and run into them from time to...

The Sat AM I think would be better than Sunday. Thoroughly enjoyed the short (2 hours) visit this morning. Wish a few more could have joined in, but it was a very short notice and was surprised when Saúl showed up. He didn't even have a camera just audio so "no camera, no excuse". Looking...

Really enjoyed the chat this morning. It was well worth the effort to get on with everyone. It only lasted a couple of hours but we had Chris, Bob, Saúl, myself and James made an appearance for a short while at the end. Lots of discussion and laughter ensued as stories were swapped.

I seem to go to bed pondering how I am going to solve the next hurdle or problem. The Pak 40 was challenging in odd ways. The 251 I am building is really pushing it a little bit. Build some, paint some, figure out what and HOW I am going to paint it. My poor single bottle of Testor's Rott...

Off to a good start Mike! I get it with the multipart frame Mike that is why I took extra pains with my 1/16th 251 build and set up a jig. So far everything is lining up just fine since it got pulled off the jig. The more complicated it is, the more work it will take to get it right.

starting now supposedly

Yeah in about 30 minutes Chris must have wanted to talk about something. :ph: I kind of ended up pulling an all nighter. Working on the 251 and watching farcebook shorts. At 6am (my time) I decided to wait till we get talked out then take a nap.
