Thanks, Bruce!
Thank you, Carlos!Stikpusher wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2026 3:20 pm Very nice antenna wires Gary!
Yeah, the sprue worked really well. I'm more comfortable using it than EZ line and other elastic threads. It had been a while since I tried antenna wires and these came out about as good as I had hoped. I was sure glad that I had sawed a little groove in the top of both antenna masts. That helped a lot when stringing them up! And maybe at 73 I've finally learned that perfect is the enemy of good enough. 'Bout time too! 
Ta, Stuart!
That's sure appreciated, my friend!

Re: Russian fighter project
Thanks, Brandon! They've turned out pretty good and boy, am I glad they're finished!
Almost two years in the making for two little WWII fighters...sheesh! 
Thank you so much, Tom!
I"ll be glad when I've got some real, decent photos of them both. My model photography has rusted a bit on me I suspect. 
Thanks a lot, Martin!
I appreciate that! I think (hope?) that they look better with somemore careful photos, we'll soon find out!
