Bob-----The A/B-26 looks really good. Lead weight is pretty important on the Invaders because the CG on those is all kinds of screwed up.


Best wishes,

Spent the day decalling, Got the Phantom done and a good bit on two other kits.

The first pic the decal is a bit wrinkly it settled down with some Microsol.

Next the dull-coat then the metal bits.

Cheers Rob.

Wow!! Some real progress, Rob. It looks just great. Well done.

Thanks Ben!

It's been sitting for weeks waiting for me to start putting the decals on.

Cheers Rob.

Rob---That really looks nice. I like the shark mouth.

Best wishes,

Ian

Rob, she's looking great!

Allen - how goes the spy-in-the-sky?

Ben - Your sentinel of The Great White North is looking good. You've really put a lot of work into it.

Bob - I'm impressed with how good you are making that old kit look!

Richard - I can hear the hooves thundering down the runway.

Hi Fredrick!
I have lost the Prop some ware, lucky I have an extra kit to steal from!

I didn't know Russell, but believe a memorial should be visited by all.

Got a couple of these from Facebook and one in a bag from evilbay.

Welcome to the campaign, Eric. You still have heaps of time to get a Dragonfly in the air.

Here is my completed build for this campaign:-

RIP Russell I hope you are in your Shangrila.
Richard

Now, I know for sure that Russell would like that, Richard. Well done! Very well done

Richard----Great presentation with the Mustang. Russell would be proud of that one.

Best wishes,

Ian

Thank you Ben and Ian.
Inspiration for the base came from some of Russell's postings.

Richard,
Looks Great! Well Done!

Cheers Rob.

Richard: nice job on a subject that was hard for me the (3) times that I attempted.

KUDOS!!!!!

Bob

Thank you Rob & Bob

wow some great work here


the TR-1A has been retired to the side lines but work on the Xfl-1 Airabonita as come on quite well and is ready for priming



The cockpit was a basic affair and built out of the box with no extras and minimal weathering as this was a prototype. The fit of the kit gas been quite good but there is a slight step at the wing roots that I hope some cleaver painting of the yellow wings and black walkways will hide. Hopefully painting will start this weekend

Looking really good, Allen.
Its sad the real one was just dumped and never preserved. There was only one prototype ever built.

Allan,

That's a cute lil' airbonita'cuda!

Richard,

Thank you. Looks wonderful.

Hi Eric,

Good choice. Russell had a Dragonfly in his stash.

dingbat 'ding-bat'n: a person who commonly glues airplane wing pylons onto the wrong wing




I did want to prime last weekend. that didn't happen. Obviously, this is still a work in progress.
Good thing I have patience.

Ben.

I have masked and painted the metal bits at the back.

Cheers Rob.

Rob, the metal is going to look sweet. I just hope nothing crawled under your masks.
