Wow , this is going to be a slowness record for me on a good model

I have a lot of excuses for being so slow . I've had to do a lot of adjusting since my wife is now working from home three days a week and two at the office .

Anyhow, I have been tinkering when I can and actually feel like it :idonno

I have been working on landing gear parts ,

making lights , antenna , gear position indicators , making gun barrels and a pitot tube.

Just need to refine some things and mount an antenna cable.

Cheers, Christian B)

What is that to the left of the gear, a brake line??

It is Warren . With the fittings loosely installed .

I need to work on making them shorter next build.

Thanks Ian . That is a pretty good kit from a company that has not been remembered for their great model airplanes. I was very surprised

Interesting airframe that has been pretty much ignored . I think the very hard to fine Fine Molds release has the wrong wing filet :idonno

Thanks Mike . He's usually asleep unless I'm trying to model . I need a cloaking device :zen

Glad you like it . The airbrush won over the pigment idea . It will be more obvious when I do the beauty shots.

Just don't drop it!

Not a thought that I normally consider , but how funny that it actually entered in my mind earlier .

I did however spill a whole stack of magazine while keeping your winning from flying through the parking lot . Those car boxes are supper slippery :smack

Cheers, Christian B)

Sorry, not much tonight but I'll post these three . Not very good, so more tomorrow when I'm nearly conscious :frantic

For some reason, the computer pulls all the pictures from the card ( 163 tonight ) but most of the time it only pulls the most recent. Had to weed them out .

Cheers, Christian B)

Looks great Christian!

I like the weathering and the chipped paint!

After MP creates your Master's forum, we can move it there!
