Well I have a place to do my thing. Thanks for all the SWEET commits on the MAN CAVE!

Now back to the Superfort. The kit comes with a prearranged weapons load of 1000lbs'ers at 12 1000 lb bombs. I did a little research and this seems to be quite correct. Four racks with 3 bombs on each side for a 12000 lb load. If 2000 lb bombs it would be 8 or 500 lb bombs would carry 40 for a 20000 lb load. The 500 lb bombs would include a center rack with 2 bombs each.
 
Well getting a little more done. Think I'm not going to worry about the yellow as a lot of the late war photos don't seem to be noticeable. I think they figured out not to kick them.

 
Well thanks guys. Yes Andy I think you're correct in the paint concept. So I came to the end of my ProWeld. Can't get it anymore. I picked up some SameStuff from Micro Mark but their prices are going out the roof. I picked up some Plast-t-Weld from Flex-i-File at Hobby Lobby. I tried that first. So far I might as well try water. Had to use the micro mark stuff as it does work as well as proweld.
 
Well DAWG! It weighs in at about the same weight as the real one, combat ready, and worked real hard to drain my glue reserves and drive me insane chasing cracks. But I think it's ready to get cleaned up and moved to the paint locker...
