How is your kit coming along mate?

LOL! Thanks for checking in Dave!
It has been sitting on my dresser in my bedroom for the last 6+ months. Was off on other builds for a while, but last June had a flood in the house and everything was disrupted as all the laminate floors had to come up. The flooring was finally finished in November. Since then it has been moving stuff around, weeding out, buying the house I am in, and working my tail off.
I have several builds that are just on back burner now and are in line to get worked on again. The "build" room is almost back together and I seem to have found all my tools.

Have another build that is very much closer to being finished on my bench once I get back at it. This one is a close follow on after that.

Sorry to hear you had a bad dose of the WuFlu Dave

I had a couple of super light doses of it back in 2020. If it hadn't been for everything tasting and smelling funny for a few days I would never have known anything was up.
Last July I came down with it. Basically started as a bad cold, with a slight fever. Kept going and then my smeller turned completely off and almost nothing had any taste. Was tired, had some sinus stuff and an occasional cough. Went like that for about 5 days with no change. Took plenty of vitamins, D, C, Zinc, and slept a fair amount. Awakened on Friday morning and immediately knew I was better. Was still tired, and the taste/smell stuff was still out, but by 3 weeks later, I was back up to 100%. This is pretty much how I expected my system to react. I never get the flu, and almost never get sick. Been that way for years, so passed on the shots. Turns out I had a better time with it than the other folks at work that eventually got it even though they did get the shots.

I was just reviewing this after @paddy posting about his build. I should get back on this one and finish it. Most of the hard stuff is done, just need to do a few little things and git er done. Just been busy with a lot of things lately and still have my Ju88 on the bench but have not had any real build time in over a month.

Definitely needs revisiting Paul I think if i was to continue with builds in this scale i would need to do exactly what you are doing here and start from scratch and lower my expectations of whats in the box. In recent times i just dont get anything out of building models other than frustration.

I enjoy the larger scales Paddy, but due to the larger size they require the extra detail to make them pop. I got into doing that after following another poster on here (chukw) that went to extra detail and had some interesting ways to post his builds. He showed what and how to upgrade his 1/48th scale builds. I just have so much going on that at times life takes me away from working on a build, and then I get interested in something else. Makes it real hard to come back. Thus I have really cut back on obtaining new kits. (have way too many that I will probably never get to) and have been trying to get myself into a "finish it" mode on the stuff already started.

Chukw was the master. Cant think of anyone better to emulate or learn from
