Indeed!

It looks like HobbyBoss did a pretty good job with keeping alignment, Paul, but I will know more when I actually get to that point. I don't mind that there is no engine in the Kotare kit because the Tamiya kits will satisfy that urge for me. The high point for me in the Kotare kits is in the...

More work on the Spitfire, still waiting for the HGW belts which now are supposed to arrive tomorrow. Yes, it would be fun to display the engine but there's a Tamiya kit for that. I did paint it semigloss black and will add as much extra kit parts as will fit with the cowls on. Just for fun...

Looks very nice from here, Bob. The important thing is what you think of the weathering!

Yes it do but I have the resin fix for that. What were they thinking? Or not? They also missed the armor plate over the fuel tank, but they did put a lot of nice rivets there that shouldn't be. Working on ideas for a fix for that.

Next up is a 1/32 Spitfire. Kotare is going to release one in the second quarter of next year and it is on order but this one will do for now. It will be in the markings of the second picture. The landing light doors and openings next to the wheel well were filled using Aves...

Thanks, Martin. Quite the project, and for the same unit my model is marked for.

Great looking model, Martin. Ready for a gunfight!

You have a tub 102? I'd like to see it as kit or built. Thanks for the nice comment.

Still pending.

Looks more like an Angry Bird, Saul, than a smiley one! Thanks, Bob.

Is it done yet?

Did this for a Weekend GB on FSM, there are still three of us who can still post there and two of us plus another I will be posting by proxy for are in this. I was supposed to be done in 48 hours elapsed time but by the time the photos were done it took 80 hours elapsed time. Guess I should...

Probably another plus hundred dollar kit. But it is good to see the bird get some love.

Thanks, all!

Thanks, everyone, your comments are much appreciated. They will both go to the museum next week. I'll still have the photos, get to see them once a month, and won't have to dust them!

Everybody needs a blimp, right? This is an old chestnut first released by ITC in 1957. The fit really wasn't that bad but needing a silver finish added to the work. I built it in between other builds during the latter part of the year and did the final touches this week. The base is just a...

Pup, I'm 99% sure that photo is of a two color early war scheme, even though the blue is pretty dark for a early blue grey. Perhaps the blue grey has been over sprayed but it doesn't look like dark sea blue or the non specular dark blue. The oil canning is a result of the way the Corsair was...

I think it's a composite antenna cover, Chris. Whatever, its gotta be light grey!

All done, ready to go. I skipped the final flat coat as I was happy with just a light coat of Alclad Aqua Gloss.
