Fantastic

I love working with balsa wood Jesse - I find it easier (just less accurate in detail) than plastics. My main obstacle was always how to dope and cover the canvas properly.

One must know the right words to say.

In NZ we say it's all in the way you hold your tongue

That's not just NZ my good man. My momma taught me as a youngster how you hold your tongue and cross your eyes!

I thought it was dot your i's and cross your t's

My mom just used the chancla.

Took about an hour to clean the parts for the D1A2. The B2M2 took over two hours. Only lost three tiny handles, and broke two handles.

I admire/feel sorry for you guys that work in 1:72

But Geo, these are big parts, 1/48 scale lol.

 

[Viking1066]

Like Balsa wood, I wouldn't attempt these in 1/72, H no.

 

[fubar57]

Ahhhh. I've never seen these kits before and assumed the were of the smaller breed; 1:72 has some nice kits not available in 1:48

 

[Viking1066]

They look tiny because there are so many parts.

Soon I'm going to start a Testors P-51D, so few parts. An attempt to scratch build the interior and wheel wells

That's a lot of scratching, like an old hound dog walking through a fle patch

It could very well become Landfill 2026
