Alright!! Lookin good Bud.[tup] Patients is a virtue in this hobby. Having two or three going at one time helps with the no waiting part too.[:D]

Hey Bud, now that looks alot better[:P] I bet you thought I was jokin’ with ya about the tape & taking 3 days for the paint to set up huh.[:-^] Well, as Drew said, Patience is a virtue in this hobby. Can’t rush anything if you want it to look right.

Nope not trying to rush anything and I did not think that idea with the tape was dumb. That was a GREAT idea my friend

Bud

Now what did the wifey say about all that tape ya had on ya?[:-^]

Looks good Bud. Nice when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t it? Looking forward to the end reult.

Yea so dont break it[:P]

Well I try to weather it with sand paper and I think I did to much [:P] That was the 1st time I tryed it and I think with less sanding it would have looked a LOT better…

BUT !!! As I said in the beginning… This is a " What If " Build.

So you can say this plane went thought a LOT of Flak flying over the enemy.

Be Kind…please

Bud

[:-^]

I said the same thing… I think i will repaint it

Bud

I should have left it ALONE LOL [:D]

Bud

It’s all Ed’s fault, he told me to do it LOL [:P]

Bud

By “flak damage” do you mean "flying thru sandpaper damage " ? [(-D] Sorry Bud .[:(] Kinda [(-D]…[:D]

I can believe that Bud ! Where is he ?

Yea yea that’s it " sandpaper damage " hehehhe

Bud

Just say it represents damage from a little known German secret weapon that was developed in late '44 due to a sortage in metals . The Germans called it "derexploden-abrasivepaper-ender-flakken 1V " [(-D]

I would repaint it. But thats just my opinion. Also blame it all on ED.

[(-D][(-D][(-D] and one more [(-D]

Yea going to start and repaint it Tusday

Bud

Strait from the horse’s mouth…

Look behind yuou Smellback[}:)]

Too bad the damage didnt work out like you wanted , but just look at all of the practice your getting at painting it .[tup]
