And now, the final installment of my wonderful weekend of fun! The last couple of things I was working on of course was all the small aircraft for my John C Stennis. I got the canopies painted on about three-quarters of all the planes. I also assembled the helicopters as well:
You can barely see it, but I had to add the horzontal stabilizers on the Seahawks. They were not part of the kit.
And finally, in between all of this, I started my Trumpeter 1/72 scale Japanese Type 69 tank. Here it is all built up with the top hull test fit to the lower hull:
This next pic shows the details I finished on the turret, as well as some of the painting I started on the lower hull:
This last pic shows the progress I made as of Sunday night:
One of the things I should warn anyone about who wants to build this tank: The turret halves are molded so thinly that they border on vacuform! Makes it real hard to sand and trim without doing too much damage!
Well, that is all the things I’ve done this weekend. All the work you’ve seen over the last four posts was all done in the two days on Saturday and Sunday. Of course, I took some time off to go to church and cook meals for my wife, as well as did a couple loads of laundry and dishes. Still, it felt good to be able to relax so much in my Hobby Room after having spent the week before working so hard at demolishing kitchens in preparation for new cabinets!
