My laptop died, and I lost a lot of stuff, but here are some pics that made it through the crash!

Im on my mother's laptop at the moment--she's letting me borrow it while she's visiting


I'm building this one OOB, and I cant complain. Nice cockpit detail makes me a happy girl

Image


nice engine detail too, but it looks like it will be mostly covered up. So no wiring.

I got a bit excited and distracted, and glued teh wings on before putting in the cockpit! OOPS!!!

some emergency surgery was required

at home where it belongs!

grabbed these with my phone

Finally got the replacement part for my airbrush, and dang does that make a difference! After fiddling around getting the air pressure and paint consistency right, I free-handed the camo. Not that bad if I do say so myself!

thank you

talk about a confidence booster. Over a year away from the airbrush, and the first time back I do something like this? Im pleased as punch :)
