The bottom line is always to have a good time. I sometimes wish I would have a broader field of endeavor but when it comes down to it its about enjoying what I do and finding the time to do it. Even taking pictures and posting them takes away my time.

Looking good, James. I know what you mean about cameras - I'd buy a better one, but then I think of all the nice models I could buy with the cash. I was wondering what to do with the empty hole where the carbeurator filter was and I came up with the same idea of using a tube. The only thing about yours is it should be flush with the wing surfaces. I know, it's always something. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more pictures!

Thank you for the welcome, modelguru! The avatar is of a winter-camouflaged straight-winged two-seater with two 37mm cannons hung underneath the wing. I intend on doing a model of it some day. Alex, this ski-equipped IL-2 (or the wheeled version) would look great next to a winter-camouflaged 1/35th scale T-34/76, with the tank having some suitably large patriotic slogan splashed across it. That would make a great winter diorama, if you could find the space for it!

It can also now be done in 1/72nd scale or even 1/48th!

It would certainly be a lot easier to do in 1/72nd scale. As a matter of fact, I'm part of the way there as I have no less than four Shturmoviks in winter camouflage. All I need is a T-34/76 (I have a T-34, but it's a T-34/85 and unsuitable to go with my single-seaters and my early two-seater). Speaking of which, can you recommend any good T-34/76 kits in 1/72nd scale?

Looking good James, the miliput work is fine. Maybe some Mr Surfacer to even out the surface..did I just make a "duh"?
Without hijacking James' thread, Dragon does have some nice 72nd scale T-34s you could use.

Thank you, Saul, I'll look for those T-34's! James, I wouldn't worry too much about getting the surface too smooth, as this was a leather boot, so it'll need some wrinkles and creases applied to it anyway. I'll be interested to see how you go about it, as I haven't gotten to that point yet. Right now, I'm working on the engine and finishing up the cockpit (just glued the fuel tank in, but now I have to scratchbuild the rather complicated booster/primer pump on the front starboard portion of the cockpit floor - fun, fun, fun!). Did you build the engine, or did you do the wise thing and just make enough of it to hold the exhausts?
