    Sherman in 1/16 scale.

    Been there, done that. The clutch cable would often break on my Kawasaki 900 on the way home. No, I don't have it anymore. I sold it in the mid eighty's. Gary S.

    Scratch 1/48th scale Topgun Darkstar

    Seems like the more I putty and sand, the more places I putty and sand!! The fins are just temporarily taped on to see how they look. Looks good enough to me.As long as the basic shape looks ok. Gary S.

    So far there's been two applications of JC and sanding. Some places still need fill and more sanding. After that I'm thinking of brushing on a coat or two of Future then a spray primer. Gary S.

    And lots of it! At least joint compound is easy to sand. Gary S.

    Scratch 1/48th scale Topgun Darkstar

    Following Saul's recommendation, the model was sprayed with poly urethane. It was the only sealer on hand. This morning, the first coat of joint compound was applied around the nose and upper fuselage and wings. Kinda looks like the soldier in white from Catch 22. Gary S.

    We just happen to have joint compound, so I'll give it a try. Thanks! Do I spread it over the whole surface? In the meantime, I used whiteout on some of the seams this morning. Some people use it on plastic models. Joint compound will be a lot less toxic. Gary S.

    The engine nacelles were glued together this morning, but after looking at pics of the "real" thing, they are about four inches short. Hopefully, I can make some extensions. I really had my head up my ass on this. Gary S.

    Pretty good SWAG job on the engine nacelles. They are just temporarily taped on, a little trimming is needed. The interior will be blanked off and painted black. Engine detail will be omitted.It'sTOP SECRET. The Chinese might be looking. Gary S.
