Same here! :nodding:

Sooo, there is one solution...

Start one.... The more Jolly Rogers, the better !!

Finger crossed, 2021 will surely not see 2 Corsairs in RFI but surely 2 bearded pirates !!

Stay safe Gents !!

Sincerely.

Hello Guys and gals....

It's clear and blatant that I'll not finish the toom for halloween.....

I think that I put a good 200 stencils but the end of that mess is at hand....

I bought a second hand kit....

And now, it's itching me....

See...

IMG_20211029_201347

Sturdy ugly cardboard box with no box art at all.... But....

IMG_20211029_201414

Yup, it is not SBD 3/4 but SBD 3 AND 4....

I'll try to wait until next year.... 

I already failed once, I'll try to amend myself...:rofl2::rofl2:

Then this one popped from my stock....

I ordered a transparency sprue to Mr and Mrs Italeri, because they were missing in this box !!!

Let's see if they are efficients... 

More to come soon 

Happy modelling week end !!

Sincerely.

Well Gents,

There are still some work to do but I think that we have our next RFI here....

IMG_20211111_233032

I saw an informative (propaganda) movie about USS Independence at Yankee station...

So all the Air group is visible.... and the planes are well worn !!

So now, I ponder about doing another F-4B of the VF-41 ??

Then 2 A-4C skyhawk ??

The A-6 is already here with the good decal sheet....

They used some A-1 too, Skyraider and Intruder on the same deck is really unusual....

RA-5C is also on the stash....

This movie is a treat for someone like me....

Be careful Gents, it is noted that after looking at this movie, people tends to look for USN aircraft kits....

Now, it's up to you....

Have a great modelling time...

And an happy SMW for the ones who'll attend !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Flory time !!

IMG_20211114_215323

Well, the academy Mk 82 bombs have a good shape but....

They did'nt gave any fuse... just a pointy thing that did'nt resemble nothing.....

So.... CC multibuilds bonus....

The monogram Skyraider has ridiculous Mk 82 with "let's say" good extended fuses....

IMG_20211113_210341

A bit of cleaning and go....

Glued on the Academy one and it's a bit more convincing...

:evil_laugh::evil_laugh: Dr FrankenCC strike again....

Now 5 evening work day.... No modelling.....

See you later friends 

Stay safe you all !!

Hello Dears..

Tough time in CC's castle...

My good Lady is defeated by the passing out of Sirius....

I try to chin up...

Here's a clue, I caption this pic, "Hey Gran' Ma, How are you doing ?"

IMG_20211124_230439

Those are the 2 next RFI....

I must finish a Corsair this year...

Ok, it's a well known song now....

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

The problem with PE is.... It is flat...

So I use cristal Klear for this too...

IMG_20211207_223210

Then, I've had a nasty overspray inside the cockpit....

But I cleaned it up and it has worked fine...

IMG_20211209_205042

Take care Gents...

We got snow here....

Setting the scene for the 16th of December ??

Sincerely.

Great work CC. Almost done now. That underside looks fantastic! Snow you say? 😳🥶 brrrrrrrr.

 

All the best.

 

Johnny

Snow is now gone, but will be back Monday...

Are we going to have a white Christmas ???

Except that, I'll work on Christmas.... And that make things far less funny...

Hello Dears,

I'm finishing the Toom, step by step....

Toying with the bang seats !!

IMG_20220124_231522

Next RFI for sure... 

But as I'm in my evening work week, modelling is impossible....

I learned today that my fav LHS has failed.... 

That's sad...

Sincerely.

Sad but a sign of the times, if I could and had the $ Id open a store. 

It's a project for me too....

And produce my own kits...

My LHS in Limoges closed a couple of years ago and now the nearest ‘ proper ‘ model shop is in Bordeaux about 230km away!

Like the seats. 
 

John

I still have passion 132, but it is not really a shop since Paul is mainly working through the web....

Hard times for these guys too...

 

Sincerely.
