Congratulations, you just found my secret for building: alternating between armor and aircraft with the occasional ship, building, space or Sci-fi critter thrown in to really mix things up. All the crossover helps in enhancing all the builds and it also keeps everything fresh so I don't get burned out on any particular subject. The exception to that though is WWII German armor, and to some degree; aircraft. I'm quite burned out on them since that seems to be what everyone is building all the time these days on the Missing Lynx Braille Scale Forums, among others. Just to be different, I try to stay away from them. That being said, I do have a WWII German subject I do need to finish.


Okay, I hijacked this Thread far enough; I return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Bring it on Kenny!

I hear ya there...

Hey Duke,

I’m building a Firefly after this one And I cannot wait.

As to the German aircraft- I’ll always build Emils. That’s my favorite aircraft to build. But like with my corsair, and the Hellcat I’ve got waiting in the wings- I love American AirPower from the Pacific theater too.

No sooner did I mention the Forefly, it arrives in the mail!









Oh geez, what did I get myself into:


Listening to FatSkins, my pals Mike and Wynne’s band. Possibly the best American Oi! band going!


This is my next armor build and boy am I excited about it!

You’ll enjoy the Firefly. But a word of hard earned experience on Dragon armor- test fit everything before committing to glue. Their instructions are often dyslexic and have you putting on opposite side parts. And those tracks are an exercise in patience and persistence!

Enjoy!

Duly noted and THANK YOI, Carlos! I will, for sure! And regarding the tracks, thank God I’m a Zen Buddhist! I like activities that exercise my patience!

Great looking kit - but boy those tracks!

Yeah bro. That’s a Zen exercise LOL

Helpful hint on the tracks- don’t add sag to the upper run. Sherman’s have a “live” track that do not sag like the tracks on German, Russian, or most other countries’ WWII tanks.

Yessir and thank you!
