Hi fellows
I had some time to bring up another stalled project to the bench. It seams that everywhere I lay my eyes there’s another stalled project just what’s to be finished of. So for this year that´s precise what I’m trying to do. Off course there’s always a new kit spoiling this plan For the moment big P-47(but that’s another thread mates.
Sadly I’m not able to recover the pics lost in the beginning of this thread, but the pics missing show the sprues from the kit, and I’m certain all who like these kits have already seen them
Now for the progress of the stalled one

All the big pieces like the fuselage halves are together and the lower wing is attached, some fillings are done with Milliput and Mr Surfacer 500. Some of the panellines are rescribed after all sanding. So the first coat of paint is on. That’s a nice moment for checking out your real skill, puh man, I´ve still have to learn from the beginning again. Okay there’s a spot or five to be corrected but biggies. Hopefully I can put just another coat of paint in some scratches and simply polish them down with a sponge from Master Caster. These sanding sponges from Jay .L are awesome.

Hi my friends, and I hope that you still are just friend. It´s been some time since I did some real posting at this forum. Why, I was relly fed up with all model/internet/to many projects you´ll know.. For a long time I din´t modelling at all, then came the summer, as you know I´m interested in gardening so I´ll digged some real trenches outdoors
Then there was some work for Jay L at Master casters to fix up during the summer. I was back on track with a big P-47 build.Sadly I broken the darn canopy and still waiting for it.

So when the year was 2oo7 almost to the end.
The man who put me in the sadle again was Peter Sindcore, distributer of Roden in Sweden.
He send that lovley DH.4 for a revieiw, so here we are and my feeling the fun building models and the early birds is the wine to drink

sadly the host for my pics have done some real update on there site so the most of all pics is gone.A new one was taken and here´s the pics from my restart of the 1/32 Albatros DIII from Roden..Peter want´s it finished, so I will do this and hopefully I´ll do some builds of all other stalled ones.

Hi Stephen
Yes I`m planing to use that figure. We need to support The model Cellar and Mik G for these high quality figures.

Hi Folks
So here it is, almost complete, still is the decals on the propeller and the windscreen to add on. This build have taken just too long to get done, so I’m very glad to say this is over.
Can’t say why this took all that time, I’m just gluing something else instead of this one.
So here it is, feel free to comment and criticize

Nicely Done Lars. Another gem. Can I ask about the extended grey area around the cockpit?

Hi stephen
That´s just my mistake, never readning the references so good. So, [auto-censored] happens
But It´s just a plastic model been finished off.
