After almost a year on the MIA Rolls, I am returning with my build of the Wingnut Gotha. I pulled it out of hibernation a few weeks ago and have actually spent most of my limited time painting parts on the sprue and testfitting. Other than gluing bomb halves together, no other glue has been used so far. I will try to snap some pictures soon and start the actual build.
If you plan to use oil paint, try a product called Japan Dry. The oil paint dries overnight.
Note to self, "Self, get some rigging materials."

Good to see you back Carl.
Now of course you'll have to build the WNW Fokker EIII in your namesakes markings naturally, once you whoosh through the simple work of building that Gotha of course

Thanks Good People. Great to be back behind the desk again. Uncle Ernie's Fokker will be winging its way across the Pacific with a few friends sometime before the end of the month.
