Used to use FB to share cool things I did but too much garbage was showing up. Instead I’ll share this with my friends here. 5 mile race in Baltimore park

Getting ready to start and to build some enthusiasm and general knowledge; I went back to one of my favorite channels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QycCd3U4Hg

The decal film is the decal itself. There is a gloss coat as a base and semi gloss over the decals. I used Set and Sol to settle them. I might try some more clear.

Getting close to finish. The gray in the camo does look better in person or in sunlight. Should be done in with plenty of time to spare (mere seconds).

GB-71 Recon/Transport/Training is next August giving you time for research and extra detail items.

Books aren't the only source of ASS airplane info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSm1bMT_R6g WWII US Bombers is consistently the best youtube channel for this kind of info. He has all kinds of period reports; graphs; and data. It has come to the point that you HAVE to be very careful about...

Over the past couple of years; I have come to realize that there is far more crap than substance on utube; xwitter; ticktack; etc. Now, I have my subscription youtube contributors and I watch that or a movie. If you find yourself doom clicking, just do something more productive. Smart people...

Took a look at the instructions mainly to pick a scheme and there are four choices. Two of them don't "look like" a 190 to me; of the other two this one resonated with me. @Lucky13 , this one is also for you...

Frantic Italians Attempting Transportation

Went a a bit of a tear but I now have all but Home Country Group Build subjects sitting on my shelves. I had been looking at these subjects all summer but have been conflicted by the four part matirx of kit purchase. Two have to due with the subject matter; and two with availability. Is this...

Not sure what is going on with the gray. I used Tamiya XF-63 as the instructions called for, and it looks darker in the bottle. I masked the top to spray the light blue on the bottom, so I can't see now what it looks like right now. The patches in my paint booth (a large cardboard box) look...
