Jmabx wow ! Now that’s one sweet looking Pete ! The extra effort on those engine parts paid off in a big way. Over all a very nice build, ya dun good Jeremy [t$t]. Isn’t it something how these simple little kits can turn into so much work. Your build will be on the front page shortly.
Jmabx My apologies for taking all day to get your build on the front page, its there now right where it belongs.
Thanks Randy… you rock!
And thank you John and Richie!
I appreciate all the compliments. You’re all too kind.
Ok guys time for a WIP update on my slow build Miss America. Got all excited an stuff thinking the canopy is going on so I should be painting soon. [:D] Whats this ???[:O] The canopy doesnt fit well ?
Looks like I will need to do some more filling and sanding there. I tried shimming the canopy up some but that just made things worse it seems so …
Guess I need to make another trip to the beauty supply for some more files. The underside of Miss america came out well though no more filling to do there.
Looking good Randy!!! REALLY looking forward to seeing some paint on her!!![t$t]
WOW!!! It’s been a while since I’ve trolled these waters. Some great stuff, all around!!!
Been a long time since I made mention of this one, but I finally mustered up the gumption to get at it.
This was the old revellogram F-15C that I had built a long time ago. It was either the can or a redo. Perfect candidate for a “fantasy” racer. I had sanded it down and closed her all up, trimmed the wings a bit, and finally got some paint slung on her.
Now, I’ll let it sit for a day or two for the paint to cure, then do the NMF around the tail, decals,clearcoat.
Fermis Ummmm what can I say ( first leme pick my self up off the floor)
NOW THAT IS A RACING PAINT JOB !!! [t$t] [:D[ WOW !
Beautiful work there my friend, dahum you dun good ! Cant wait to see what happens next.
[dto:] I’m likin’ that!!!
Awe shucks, you’re too kind!!![:D[
Got her knocked out. Used a mish-mash of decals from the scrap pile. NEVER throw these things away…you never know when they’ll come in handy!!!
Guys we have our first Ultimate Unlimited Racer finished here !!!
Fermis 8 Ball looks fantastic ! Love the paint job and markings. What are you calling Race # 8 so I can add that to the front page picture.
Uhm, Uuuuuuhhhhhhhh…CRAZY 8’s ??? A bit 'simple" I know, but I guess it fits!!!
Hey Fermis seems you named her some time ago [:O] Check the front page.
Yeah, I remember that, guess that’ll work!
Way to go Fermis! That Eagle is su-weeeeeet! [Y] [:D[
Helluva job with the masking. Nice patriotic red, white and blue flame job… gotta love it. And I really like the way you mounted it to the wall. Well done sir! [t$t]
Just caught up on the goings on here and some great things be happ’ning.
jmabx- Jeremy ,nice job on the Pete. Sporty little airplane[Y].
Randy- Looking good . Those wing tips turned out fine[:D]. Glad my idea worked for you. Fairly easy to do and looks cool.
Fermis- Love the paint scheme. The street rodder side of me has always loved flames. A hot rod Eagle, cool[:D[.
I have a punch set ordered through Micro-Mark to make a custom IP for my F-82. Should arrive in a week , then I can get to building the cockpit. Getting over this slump and back to carving plastic and cement fumes. Feels good.
Howard
Thanks Howard! Looking forward to some more progress on the F-82. [Y]
Daddy1 Glad to see you back [:D] I don’t think they would have come out as well as they did without your help. I thank you sir for your help and kind words. Can’t wait to see the F-82R back on the bench again.
[dto:] Man I can’t wait to see more of that RB-82!!! Hmmmmm Howard have you got a name for her yet!!! Red Baron II???[t$t]
Guys thought I would let you know we lost one of our Air Race drivers today near Bakersfield California. Al Goss and another man went down in his AT-6F Warlock today at about 11:30am. Here is a link to the story.
My condolences go out to his family and friends and I wish him clear blue skies.
[dto:] I remember seeing the Warlock in '85. To three greats that have sadly passed into the clear blue[t$t][t$t][t$t][angl] Vaya con dios amigos!!
