  1. When you said you're building both, I thought you were going to swap the wings between the two. Imagine how that would look. Even though the Concorde(I'll be nice) doesn't sound easy to make I still want to get one. Both of these look great. I'm not counting rivets but I think you missed one. I can say that because I never saw one.
  2. The bodywork and mudslinging is almost done. I cut the side windows out using a pattern on paper that I traced from the photo. Hardest part was making sure the openings are nice and straight. Haven't checked to see if both sides are exact, hope they are. It took three times of mudding to get the joins all good. Still a couple of pinholes and dings to finish. The floor was fairly easy to lengthen, just had to make sure it was square. The fish plate can stay like that, they won't be seen when it's done. I need to make tabs inside the body to hold the floor in place at the right height next and lengthen the frame. But I need the floor in place exactly to get the frame correct. After that I'll have to put all the suspensions on, set the ride height and make sure it sits on all four wheels. The Super wagons sat a bit higher than all the others. I might make the front axle slightly movable just to make sure it's sitting level. I might have to make new taller wheel houses, they want to be sen when looking from the side at the wheel opening.
  3. Undercoat delete option? that's one just above the floor delete option. The chassis look good, never thought of using that burnt sienna.
  4. Never seen that kit before, just the Monogram one, which needs a lot of work. I need someone to make these tires in 1/16. This turned out good.
  5. the crazy Newfie Smurfs (tree apples weez are b'ye)
  6. I've never seen an F-4 look so good. But then I only seen two in person up close. The paint is beautiful, nicer than most show cars. It's nice to know it's potentionally flyable. I wonder if it could be powered up and run once in awhile. Not many left I think. I know F-4A number 13 is for sale and was being made airworthy.
  7. Twin Otter hit pengiuns (blame Canada)
