Hiya all, ;D
Well, I up to my eyeballs in stuff.
Don't know what I am doing but having a blast doing it, ha!
This is one of my more fav subjects, I think it is a beautiful piece of machinery, even by todays standards it looks awesome and mean too. I just wish they had had the time and materials to paint it in neater colors! Well, actually not, but I wish i wasn't restricted to being "historically correct", *sigh*, well, one day.
Actually I got to find out if I can even build the thing first of all, in my humble opinion slapping together an Armor build is alot easier, these planes take a ton of work!!! Still in all that is the reason we do it IMO, if it was easy..why do it?
AHHGGGG...what do I do now?

Hehe, hope all this stuff ends up into something resembling what it is supposed to be!

Wow, isn't this nice, this half fell on the floor, I rolled over it with my chair and broke it right in half,
got it together again though,..will see if it holds up and I can make it look ok, I think so...
So..everybody doing ok today? hope so, see ya later.

Be good and have fun,
Bill

Ok, slowly but surely..I am having alot of hair pulling lately, I had to paint the wheel well first, right?? and the nose gear, it had to go in before the fuselage halves were put together, right? now I need to paint, how on earth do you mask all this stuff properly, like the cockpit and wheel wells and the nose gear?

Well, I boxed it...for now
Man, Duck egg blue paint is a great way to see the most infintisimal, teeniest tiniest, most smallest, really, really tiny small, hard to see mistakes!!!!!!!!!!
did I mention it is good to see the mistakes you make?
I thought I had it filled and sanded really good, ha...right.
I need to take a break from it for a bit, get back on it after I learn some more.

Hey Bill..Jim & I talked about that earlier this year when he bought his new 6 pixel digital camera and found all sorts of flaws after taking pic's of his model and being able to see right away the scratches and dents you couldn't see with the naked eye. Hew did I tell you? I'M really Excited?!! ha,ha...."Congratulations!! my Buddy!!"
