Sorry to hear this. A very talented gentleman. Salute!

Not sorry one bit...

Aha! That explains it! My family is Czech on my mothers side. No wonder I'm a gloomy grumbling sod...

The "More Pet Hates grumble grumble grumble" thread is winning...

And that's the point really isn't it? We hobbyists do incredibly difficult, tedious and frustrating projects because that's what we like to do. Good on you and I sincerely hope it works out in the end. In the meantime, I will be watching this thread to see what sort of solutions you come up with. Good luck!

Whew! That's a lot of time and effort on that old kit. I've proably built that thing about a dozen times over the years, but I spent more time getting the landing gers to work than correcting it's faults.. It looks like you'll actually have a Corsair when you get through all that. Keep on it!

Well of course, who doesn't like a nice pie after all, but I warrant that the term 'pie' means something different to everyone. I'm quite partial to a nice cherry pie myself. Ooh or an apple pie with a crumble topping! Pumpkin pie with whipped cream... You guys are probably thinking of something completly different though... What sorts of pie are we talking about then?

Finishing a project. After all the curse inspiring complications and setbacks, the things that don't work the way they are supposed to, the screw ups, mistakes, and accidents. Doing the last little bit, then sitting back and looking at the finished work is amazingly satisfiying. A small bonus of knowing someone is going to pay for all that work is the gravy on top. Then it's on to the next one because you don't have time to sit on your chunk you lazy bugger...

*Groan*

Just "reorganizing" according to my sources.

That's Horace. He sits there and constantly reminds me of what happens to projects that don't get finished on time...

I know I said this weekend. This is Sunday night for me. The work area. Covered with the current junk...um I mean project. And other junk... Other space and future projects. The ship is a restoration that I need to get to SOON... A small portion of the stash More stah and even more in the room beyond The current project bits. A Revell Germany Ferrari 250 California. Oh and junk....lots of junk. I've been here three years now, I really need to get organized.... At least I have successfully avoided showing the floors....

Oooh! a Martin B-10!.. Oh, nice work space too! Some nice spaces here, I'm getting some great ideas for organizing my crap collection. I promise I'll post something this week end. Just to show off the dank, dark conditions I toil under. (Windows?! What a novel concept!)

Once again Britmodeller comes to my rescue. I am just starting the 250 California (now a Revell Germany kit) and your pix and build notes are exactly what I needed! Thank you sir and by the way, a very nice job on the kit!

Well, I haven't seen any screw ups yet, looks pretty good to me. Moar!

Does this help any? Fat Cat, The [UNK] 581st. Air Re-Supply & Communications. These CIA controlled aircraft were embedded in other squadrons, such as 2nd Air-Sea Rescue at Kadena and the 91st at Yokota, and called "Joe Hole" configured B-29s. The "Joe Hole" was an enlarged opening left after the removal of the lower aft turret, and was used for dropping leaflets, supplies, and (believe it or not) agents. The 13-man crew in their class A uniforms in front of a cartoon "Fat Cat" seem somewhat incongruous. It has also been noted that their mission symbols were “cows.” Could this be a variation of the term “milk run?”

It is indeed a 'beezer' lad. Good on ya. I'm sure yer old dad would be proud!

Do you have the RLM codes for the pink scheme? It looks awesome but I think your shading is a bit heavy handed...

That looks rather better than I expected. Just found a ratty box with one of these in a collection I bought recently. Nice work. I found the link to your build while looking up prices. LOL

I am hearing a release date of August 2017. I don't need another plane...I don't NEED another ... I NEEEEED this....
