    Roger. I was aware of this deficiency in the Airfix kit when I built mine, but fixing it would have been a bridge too far for me.

    See below, the corrugations clearly wrap around the leading edge.

    My, you’ve been a busy boy! I especially like your Dauntless.

    Lovely! Your building technique is so clean and neat, this looks like a much larger model.

    Indeed! For example, the corrugations should wrap around the wing leading edges... Airfix didn’t even try, which is probably for the better.

    Coming along very nicely. I recently built Meng’s Case X version, in colorful Wisconsin ANG markings like in Retired Bob’s photo above. I have another Case XX in the stash, but am undecided about whether to do another ADC gray or instead SEA camo.

    Very attractive colors, definitely beyond “ordinary”. Well done, sir!

    Everything is coming together nicely. You make it look almost easy! -Bill

    Nicely done! 1/72, correct?

    I could surely use something like this in my new house. Where can one find the “display case conversion set“ you mentioned?

    Superb progress! And, thanks for the tip on cutting rod at the right angle... that has always been a problem for me, too.

    Yes, good luck. I built one of the Special Hobby Barracudas not too long ago. Typical short-run challenges. Be careful with the canopy, I managed to put a horrible crack in mine and had to vacuform a replacement. Here’s my WIP in case you’re interested: - Bill

    Excellent progress! It looks like a very nice kit, and substantially more affordable than the ZM offering.

    I'll have to get me some of this Krystal Klear. What do you thin it with?
  15. billn53
    That looks great! And in gentlemen's scale, too! I thought at first it must be 1/48.
  16. billn53
    That’s really excellent! I’d be proud to have that in my collection. - Bill

    I really like the restrained weathering. Very believably realistic.

    Pure eye-candy!

    I have the old Williams Bros B-10 in my stash, and have been waiting for these new kits to be released. Looking forward to hearing your opinion on them. - Bill

    Yes, very stylish. I'm sorely tempted to buy the Japanese demonstrator version. -Bill

    I wish I had seen your build before I did my Trimotor, there’s some great modeling here that would have helped me a lot. - Bill

    I’m looking forward to seeing you build this. I have a couple of these Revell kits in my stash, plus the big ZM kit and their new 1/72 version.

    Like Steve said. She’s coming along fine and I’m sure will look great when done. I wish I had known of Orso’s build when I did mine. There’s some great work there, he was able to accomplish things I would not have thought possible.

    She is a big girl, isn't she? About the control wire outlets on the upper wing. If I recall correctly, the outlets are indeed rectangular (per your cutout), but they were sealed with what appears to be a leather or rubber "boot", with a hole for the cable to pass through. -Bill

    Loved the videos!
