Sorry, I've been working on the PT boat. Have to get back to the hammer food build this weekend hopefully. Pantherman

Oh, I'm just waiting to see who's hammer will fall first. The suspense is killing me.

You twiddlin' them thumbs at us or because of the lack of Phantom? Specify.

I've paused for a little while I do me an arcade machine build and not concentrating on much else for a day or two, but I'll be right back.

This outta hold ya' for a little bit.

I'm hoping to start this beast this weekend. So close to finishing up a couple other things.

So I managed to get a bit more done last night and this morning. Watch out for the ejection marks on the undercarriage doors,a real pain to loose without taking the interior details away as well. Pantherman

That would probably be good for you to join and you would certainly be welcome to do so...

Except...

This is a Phantom thread.

My bench is still clogged up with the B-58 and Phantom. Maybe I can squeeze this and the USS Excelsior in as well. LMAO

Hi and welcome to the forum. It's certainly a challenge but kinda interesting to see what we can make of it.

Your welcome to join in the misery if you want to go through the struggle again.

Well that took most of my weekend. Going to finish filling the gaps and sanding over the week hopefully. Pantherman

She's a looker! "Looks" like it can be built is what it looks like.

"Be a shame ta' blow it up".

Thanks Rob, it's certainly a job to get things to fit and without filling and sanding it would look alot worse.

Hopefully this week I will spend some time tidying it up. Pantherman

I did watch a fella on youtube say that the landing gear step was wrong, so that's verified.

Whatcha mean "that's all we get"? The one other "verified" builder who said they were in and waiting on their kit was smokeriderdon.

We'll start when his arrives.

Properly.

Like we was suppose too.

We don't break rules, smokeriderdon and me. We're both shaking our heads right now due to the deceit taking place here, ain't we smokeriderdon. We just can't believe this.

Rob.

Yes the step is completely out of order.

Revell kits are great for learning the effects and abstract use of putty.
