I am up to anything at this point

I have hunted high and low for this decal. I want to make this plane in 32 for my grandaughter, who as you have guessed would be named Audrey. If anyone out there sees this and can print me up a couple of these in 1/32 on decal paper, I would compensate you for your time and thank you in advance.

I see I need to do some dusting

Just thought I'd add a few pictures of some of the things I've completed and two that I'm still working on

Thanks for all of your information o lacquer. It was all quite interesting. Well I tested a thinned batch of paint and just brushed the lacquer over Hu 116 on this test subject and it seemed to work without any problems. So I took the gamble and shot my tractor. I can confirm that you can spray...

I found out, and I quote "It's synthetic lacquer based acrylic paint, which is compatible with Tamiya spray." I guess the thinner I have is closest to #2 according to the the label. I will mix a small bit and shoot a very thin coat on one of my test planes to see if it will react with Humbrol...

I love when people use the word obtuse

I have a question about thinning this paint. Do you think it would be ok to thin this with plain lacquer thinners, or is it too hot? I have some Mr.Color Leveling thinner on order, but I don't think it will arrive before the weather turns against me. This paint has to be prayed outside, as it is...

I was at Hamilton the other day, and it seems as though they are still having a fair bit of trouble out of the far left port side engine, as the pictures show. I was here just 3 months ago and on that particular occasion they where giving the same engine a full run up. I have a short vid of...

As you can see I had to cut off the gun sight so I can get it to fit in that hole in the fuse. Also cockpit location points are a mess. Yes I did build the seat bulkhead a bit forward, but not enough to make it impossible to get lined up correctly. Just some CA glue and a little persuasion will...

I have managed to get the wings done and get them to work. The problem is that unless you glue them in the in flight position they tend to droop kind of resembling a seagull wing. No pictures of this. So I glued the lot. Getting the cockpit to line up is a whole different story as this picture...

Well I managed to get the pit done with shoulder belts. They looked a lot better until I decided to give them a bend here and there to try to give the pe brass a more relaxed look. That is when it started to happen. First broke the bond on one lap belt. Then too much bend and broke this part...

Not sure what to do with the wings yet. Will have to see if it is strong enough to open and close. If I don't like what I see i will glue the wings in flight position.

Took a little artist liberty here. This is taking longer than expected. As for seatbelts, I think these F8f buckles will work out fine in combination with this foil for the belts. I think the foil texture is going to look good if I can figure this all out. I guess we will find out one way or...

Got to here only. To many distractions
