Ohh, that's very nice (looks about as dirty as my car - maybe both need to be run through the wash, eh??)

Please tell me about the Quickboost flaps. I'm working on a D-13 and would love to include flaps, but the Eduard PE ones are just a nightmare.
Those pics look like the flaps represented are the metal ones rather than the wooden ones: am I correct?
Also, the Eduard ones require that you sand the wing plastic down to almost paper-thin. IS that the case with these as well?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi - sorry for delay in replying...
Yes the Quickboost flaps do represent the metal ones. As for fit - there was a slight amount of sanding required to fit the upper parts. Unfortunately I didn't realise this with mine and I'd already fitted the upper wing parts. Probably better and easier to sand the wing half rather than the resin and do this before attaching to the fuselage. That way you can keep testing the fit with the lower wing part. Only a bit of sanding required then they just drop in. Good luck. Adam
Okay calling this one done.

Dear Dan,
Stop being so Lazy! Your D-15 is HALF painted; so what's the problem? Man up for christ's sake and just shoot some colour at the thing... It will look awesome when its done. And if it doesn't, well, **** happens - there are enough old Dragon Fw 190D-9's and Ta 152C-0's in the world for you to try again; if you're that stupid. Hell, if its thats big a deal, the Ta 183 looks great. Finish the last wing seam off and shoot colour at BOTH the D-15 AND Ta 183 at once!
Because you know, when you finish these two builds, I'm going to let you choose something else to to build... Maybe those Big Ol' 1/32 ZM Ta 152 or the Revell He 219; of if you need a break from Lw-junkie duties, there is that HB YF-23 or the Two US Navy F-16 project (an older TF-16N and a newer F-16A)...
Just suck it up, bitch!
Sincerly,
Dan's Modelling Conscience!
Great work Igor and Jerry, and great progress Wayne!
Hmmm, yeah... It has a point!
