Will do! Thanks.

And never mind commenting on my build let's get cracking on this one. Got time to lean, got time to clean.

I will be getting on with it. . . soon.

Any day now...

Waiting for the planets to align properly. . . and trying to finish up the Airfix P-51D.

Will be getting back with you tomorrow Lyle. It was just nice having a couple of days off from the last few months. Didn't quite know what to do with the time so.......I merely relaxed. lol

OK, you get a pass for the P51, for now....

Whew, that was close.

No worries, Joe.

Well, Joe...it was a comedy of errors. Played with the 350 for a few minutes. I don't care much for it. But, I will keep after it and work with it. Trying to open up the nozzle, the locking ring took a hike. Took 5-10 minutes to find it. I did come across the missing amber wall panels though.

Anyway, here it is. Left side needs some sanding and repaing. See a run on the left front by the hood opening. Otherwise, I can live with it. Get it wet sanded a bit, chrome bits added, it will look fine for the first one.









yep, it tipped over in the booth.





So, Bob...here we are. It will cure out for a couple of days, be ever so lightly wet sanded, touched up and then after another rest, clear coated.
