**** DONE: 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback" - Your Favorite Aircraft of All Time GB

[Airframes]

Just thought, the official name for the red when it was used surrounding the 'star and bar' was 'Insignia Red', as used in other red .. er... insignia. So probably the right shade or near enough.
Although we'd sort of unofficially agreed that there would be no extensions to future GBs, I have no problem with extending it to Sunday. I think that it's logical to have GBs finish on a weekend, rather than mid-week and, as it's only a three day extension, I don't see any major problems.

Sounds fine by me too Terry....

Glad that Canopy showed up Aaron!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll stick with it. If we get an extension I may be able to make it but I got snagged into taking care of a friends dog today. They lost one of their German Shepherds and went down to University of Tennessee to get it. The dog died on the operating table. Long story. I've been up since 2 AM and I'm beat. Was hoping to do like I did yesterday and work on it all afternoon but life got in the way. I will do my best to getterdone by Sunday if they allow a extension.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Well you have your extension Aaron, Sunday, 3 June close off.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Vic!

Ok, here are a couple of shots of what the red looks like. It is a lot brighter in the photos than in person but I think it'll work.

Should look fine Brooks. I know that an old bottle of Testors flat red that I have really pops out when I use it and that I need to cut it with a bit of black.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

The flash made that POP. It looks NOTHING like that in person.

Looking great Aaron. You can make it! Good man for taking care of your friends dog and sorry for their loss.

 

[T Bolt]

You'll make it OK Aaron

That's lookin pretty snazzy Aaron. That red will change a bit if you apply floor polish to it. Want to see you finish that plane. It's gonna be a great addition to the entries. Soldier on mate.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That looks okay Aaron.

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks guys, getting settled in to start the afternoon off with it.

 

[Airframes]

That's looking good to me Aaron, and once a clear coat goes on, the red will look even better. Sorry to hear about the shepheard.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Terry, and thank you for thinking of the lost friend. I have become quite close with the two dogs seeing as how I spend as much as three weeks out of the year with them. He will be missed.

looks pretty damn good to me Aaron

 

[Wayne Little]

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Karl and Wayne. Spent the afternoon working on panel lines. I'm about half done and totally crosseyed. Got the landing gear assembled, hopefully get some shots posted this evening.
