[109ROAMING]

Looking good mate

 

[Wildcat]

Coming along nicely!

 

[Wayne Little]

Well Terry.. the sneaky plot. My grandfathers 80th birthday is due in March and I plan on giving it to him with the full dio as his gift. Sort of symbolic with the "Fightin' Sam", even though he's a Jack.

Damn fine gesture Corey, top stuff mate......now get to work and do a good job on her!!

 

[rochie]

looks great, would love to get a 1/48 B-24

 

[Vic Balshaw]

She's taking shape nicely Corey and those engines are cool

 

[Maglar]

Thanks.. instructions said all black. I know how to make the engines look a bit real!

 

[Maglar]

The latest.. still need to fill in the cowl ring gaps between the nacelles.

 

[Heinz]

Nice stuff man!

 

[B-17engineer]

Sweet!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

You big beauty, what would you do without that stand………………..?

 

[Wayne Little]

Doing good so far!!

 

[Airframes]

Looking good - and big!!

 

[Maglar]

Thanks boys.. loving the stand for picture purposes and to hold it up when i'm not working on it. More of a hands on modeler, if you know what I mean..

Kits looking good Corey.

Love the stand too. Who makes it again?

 

[Maglar]

Tamiya. The set comes with another stand for holding sprue and clamping bits to dry, and the other fiddles.

 

[B-17engineer]

Cool... will invest in one eventually

 

[Crimea_River]

Gonna need lots of paint for that beast! Looks good so far!

 

[Maglar]

Luckily olive drab model master doesnt run the table of Alclad prices.. ehh?!

So when doing my model research, all signs said put this rear turret in before the stabilizer or else it would be hell. Had to future it to CA it in to place, will probably mask it off then hand paint the frames once the OD is done on the bird. There's an ugly seam down the middle, I think I am going to put a thin piece of tape over it and kind of 'hollywood' it and paint the tape OD and make it look natural.

Nice work!

I see you've made the word future a verb now?
