This one has been sitting on the desk far too long. Now if I can keep from screwing up the paint job! I have decals, paint and a plan, I just need the determination.

Still in its hardware store grey.

Yes! YES!! I have been missing this one! 

<popcorn>

11 pages & still not completed?

Embarrassing isn't it......



A little less talk and a lot more action!
Toby Keith

The club I go to is also having a shelf queen finish it build a thon. 1 Jan to end of Mar. This might promote some more action on this one.

Love it so far. As a matter of fact, I think I loved it last time too. 

Bought a new bottle of Dark Ghost Grey acrylic to go with the other paints I have. So at least that means I'll go with all acrylic to finish this.
$7.50 for this one little bottle! What are they making this stuff out of, unicorn pee?
I have the decals chosen so ready to go there. I also entered it in my clubs Shelf Queen GB so I might get myself more motivated over this and do something with it.

Basic pattern will be a variation on the US Marine Harriers.



No chance over the holidays to even look at models much less work on something. Some really cold weather is supposed to settle in around here so even my wife said it would be a good time to work on something like this.

I'm wanting alot more of this bud but that bloody annoying thing called life gets in the way far to often so I'll try to be patient 

We've been starting the new year by clearing out old crap that's been taking up space around here for thirty years. It's killing my back and knees but worth it.

Funnily enough I've been doing pretty much the same sort of thing Ken..just sorting and reorganizing and trying to stick to a plan .
One plan which has failed miserably already is not to buy that many models this yr..space being at a premium now ..but as always with my brain will sort something out

I bought a decal sheet to finish one project and that is bugging me to get an F-4E Phantom to use up the rest of the sheet. Plus drawings like this,

Makes me want two kits. I have the Mistercrap SU-22 kit for the wings already so it's just yelling at me to buy the Phantom.

Damn you Ken..damn you to chunky chicken and back ...if I hadn't looked at those Phantom pics I wouldn't have seen many seriously cool ideas for the 2 F-4s I've got .
That stealth Phantom looks epic and I've got a F-117 aswell ...or the A-4 crossed F-4 ..or or or ...

I think Tophe and ysi_maniac are the most guilty of planting ideas in my head. Not that I mind. I'm happy to help with your imagination whenever possible!

Oh you did that for sure buddy ...I'm already thinking of how much of the nighthawk will be left 😆
And I'm thinking of going back to the F-4 prototype..a single seater.
