Looking good so far Lyle! I am impressed with this bird.
as for the two schemes offered, I'm feeling like I need to buy two more 1/72 scale birds and do one each OD/NG and the BMF/Black! Man, my wallet can't handle this!
Keep going Lyle, I really want to see this Big Bad Boy done!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Me too, Duke...me too. Ordered another gallon or two of interior green today. Had to get it from Belgium. First time ordering from there. Maybe they will also send some pastries.

can't find them. OOP it seems.LyleW wrote:Iliad Design Decal sheet # 48021 - anyone have one? They are sold out. I like the OD, but it sort of, kind of doesn't look right.

Man I did this kit back as a teenager. No pics unfortunately. I have no idea how I painted it.

Heck, Lyle, you could have asked me to check Discount Hobbies in Whitesboro for you. I know he has Gunze and Mr. Color paints. I can still check tomorrow if you like. If he has any, I can pick a couple for you and send it to you. Let me know.

Man that's a lot of plane to take on Lyle but you seem to be hangin' tough with it. It's almost more than I'd tackle. I would like to take on the MPM He-177 Greif in 1/48th scale one day though.................

They do but I can look. Most are leftover sheets from various kits.

It is, but..........once you get the insides done, it becomes a more manageable parts count. .Not so much moving it around on the bench, though!mustang1989 wrote:Man that's a lot of plane to take on Lyle but you seem to be hangin' tough with it.
