Did some more work tonight on the longbow. I have to say I wouldn't recommend this kit to any of my friend, but after tons of sanding and some puttying here and there, it starts to taking a shape

Is it the photo or is it really dark in color?
The workmanship is good and it is coming along well. Sorry about the sanding hell.

Hey, I lightened up the first pic a couple of shades for everyone. I would do the rest but I am running out of space on my free server deal. Anyway, progress looks really good so far. Almost makes me want to start my massive Blackhawk.

Dave, I am convinced that you are running some kind of model making factory with 10 other guys!
Good job, looking forward to the finished product.

Absolutely great interior work, Dave. I don't know how you out-do yourself with each successive model, but somehow, you do. Great stuff.

Dave, looking good.
I would suggest replacing the molded on seatbelts with some lead foil or PE, etc as they look too unrealistic.
Take care,
Andrew

Dave,
All right... now quit it... you're cranking out models like crazy... It's very impressive that you do all of them so well..
The interior looks great... the close-up shots that you posted of the instrument panel look especially good.
Hope to see more soon... I'm certain that you'll have more to show us with your mad skills.
Later,
Tim

Looks like a lot of seam lines to fill Dave. No problem for a modeler of your caliber though

For godsake what kind of job do you have ????
If you can built models as like the speed of light then you must have a factory or somethign like that. Have you got a couple of slaves working on models or something???
Just kidding
Though I`m not a modern armor thing and definitaly not a modern flying thing i must admit that this looks very good. I like the paintjob on the instrument panel..... great job really
I really want to see that thing finished ........... oh no hat am I saying now??? i really want to se that thing finished......... Oh no now I`m becoming a modern wingy thingy fan
Call an exorcist quickly
