We went to Oshkosh way back in '83 and had a great time. Got to see a F9F Panther fly. Gary S.

Only seven years? Your just getting warmed up. We had our 48th yesterday. Nice work so far. Gary S.

Turning out very nice. Gary S.

Looks great! Gary S.

Almost done with the boat. The island, props and rudder need mora to be finished and attached. Started on the aircraft by appling crude markings with a fine point pen. My budget won't allow for decals. Plus putting the on would drive me batshit crazy. Gary S.

Try taking the pic a little farther away and then crop it. Gary S.

Smooth and thick. Would have left a big depression if raised. Gary S.

YEA!! Glad to have you back. Nice work so far. Gary S.

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.

The masking of the flight deck stripes is done. Not going for perfection I didn't do every one, just the major ones to make it look interesting. Next is to paint the dark gray on it. 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.
