Not much getting done fellas.... I got the fuselage glued together, went together nicely, no big gaps or warps.. Alittle putty and it'll be good.... Got the 2nd/3rd coats of ZYC on the parts needed.... Still waiting on the bits and pieces from Terry to finish up the scrath building of the gun bay... Also started getting sh!t together to detail out the wheel bays....

Still havent gotten ur package Jan, but I did recieve the second of 3 from Terry.... The print looks great..... I will try to get a pic of myself with the 2 prizes Terry was kind enough to supply for the last Group Build....

Hey Dan, took the Missus to visit her Dad today and my Bother in law gave me a book to read.....see below.....went to the index immediately, thinking of you, to check for reference of Bill Case...mentioned on 10 pages.....so if you don't have the book will scan those particular pages and send them to you....

 

[Catch22]

That's a good book Wayne, I have it. Gamble tells it like it is.

Looks like a great book Wayne.
Dan, there were only a total of 2 packages sent, plus the e-mailed drawings. The few bits and pieces are in the box for the Proctor kit. There's some plastic sheet and strip, some stretched sprue, a sheet of thin aluminium and a 'flexi -feed' ammo chute with .50 cal rounds, plus another basic ammo belt and feed. These should get you started, and shoudl adapt with your kit parts to build the internals for the ammo bay. The drawings show the way to construct the ammo bay covers, and the inside fittings.

 

[lesofprimus]

OH damn, now I gotta check the box, brb....

OK, its all good Terry, thanks again my man....

 

[Wayne Little]

[lesofprimus]

No worries my friend will get it done for you!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks a million Brother, I appreciate it....

 

[Wildcat]

That's an excellent book Wayne, I'm sure you'll enjoy it mate.

 

[lesofprimus]

I used to own the book many years ago...

 

[lesofprimus]

Well, not much work gettin done, as my lower back has decided to argue with me on whether or not its hurt or just sore....

Have been dry fitting and glueing and what not, heres a pic I just took.... Seams look good, some light putty and it should be tight....

 

[Lucky13]

Looks great! Get well soon Brother!

 

[lesofprimus]

Feels like someone punched me 3-4 times right in the lower lumbar.... Not so much the spine, but the muscle mass....

 

[Micdrow]

Looken good Dan, hummm lower back huh. The honey moon must be over then!!!

 

[Airframes]

Looking good Dan, and the crankcase doesn't look as far forward either, good work. A bottle of decent single malt should take care of your back - it won't cure it, but you'll be so p***ed you won't notice!

 

[Wurger]

With all here Dan...

 

[evangilder]

Looking good Dan. Sorry to hear about the back, brother. Getting old is starting to suck! I wracked my back a couple of months ago just bending over to tie my friggin shoe. Keep a good supply of Ibuprofen around.
