GB-71 1/48 F-5A - Recon/Transport/Training Aircraft in WWII

Great work there Don. I'll keep that photo nose conversion in mind when I do the next P-38
 
We can do that...

Baked beans are good for the heart,
Baked beans make you fart.
The more you eat, the better you feel.
Baked beans for every meal!

Or...
A fart is a dart, that comes from the heart,
And flows through the belly with ease.
It reaches the britches, bursts all the stitches,
And pooh! What a terrible breeze!

You are single
 
Nope...I have two kids to entertain, and a wife to put a wry smile on the face of :-)
Salvador Dali in his "Diary of a Genius" (newer editions) has a chapter called "Art of Fart", where he explains all different types of farts, their intensity, frequency range of course their smell etc. AFAIK it was based on an older French writing (don't have the book at the moment). This could be a real entertainment!

Used to have a couple of books describing and classifying farts. Even won fart of the month a couple times at work 😁
 
I know, I know I went off on tangents and now I'm back.

With the PRU blue on the top and the other blue on the bottom it looks pretty good. It can be hard to distinguish them and even the demarcacion can be difficult without good light.

I was going to use the SAC gear but the mains bent and gave me fits. The soft white metal doesn't stand up well to abuse.

I think for the mains I;ll use the kit's gear.

I goofed when installing the turbo housing and did not slip the under pin in. I had to cut it off and putty the gap.
