[Eastrock]

The Squadron looks great, Jim!!!

 

[ShutterAce]

Thanks ER!

 

[FlipFlop]

They are looking great! Keep it up

 

[ShutterAce]

Thanks FF, I'll try.

I can't get over how good the Krylon looks. I bet it's a really smooth finish, the decals will adhere great to it. The touch ups on the P-40 look great also. Tons of work in there Jim, good stuff.

Here is my last scheduled entry for WestFest which is on the 28th!

Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito Mk.VI of the Israeli AF. Right now this is about all that is done but it goes together quick so I do expect to finish it. Really all we need here is some light touch ups and a wash.

 

[PANZERMAN]

Looking good, ShutterAce. Lots on deck to keep you busy. Keep on rolling. Bill

 

[ShutterAce]

Thanks Bill!

Jason, if you decant it and spray it through your AB it lays down like glass, It's so thin and flows so well. Really kind of unbelievable.

Thanks Jim, when it finally gets above freezing here, I think I'll take the compressor and airbrush outside and give that a try. I normally spray acyrlics (Vallejo & rarely Tamiya now) - what do you use to clean out your airbrush after the Krylon?

The front office on the Mossie looks sharp BTW. Looking forward to seeing the fuselage all closed up - the 28 th doesn't leave a lot of time.

Lacguer thinner till it's clear and then chase it with Ab cleaner.

Jim that looks sweet.

Jim that looks sweet.

thanks! got the wash on it today. All I have to do is the seatbelts and the control column then I can button her up.

 

[ShutterAce]

I've got so many things going on I don't even know which thread to post progress in anymore!

Progress shots before getting some shuteye...

The decals on the Promodeller P-40E are not making me happy but these Tamiya Mossies are sweet!!! ;D

All the tiny bits for the Mustangs are base coated except for prop blades and exhausts. That F4U-4 was a Christmas gift from 2010. it's the Hasegawa kit and has been waiting for it's basecoat for about a year. :

Now go to bed! ;D

Thanks Chris.

It's either feast or famine in my workshop lately. No in between. It sure makes me feel like I'm getting something accomplished though. ;D

Can't get over how many projects currently on on your bench. I forgot about that when I made the French airfield suggestion...sorry.

Great work on the WiP. That krylon finish is fantastic. I ended up ordering an 1:72 F-107 just to try it out this summer.
