Ok nearly completed the Starfighter looks ok in Hungarian chevrons -Then of course I discovered I have thrown away the wheels and nose pitot - couldn't make this up could you? Fortunately I have an old donor kit

I could ask "Why ?" buy I won't  And people who make things up like this earn a fortune by doing it. They call themselves "novelists" 

OK the bits turned up I had not binned them - I suspect a conspiracy between one of the cats and the carpet monster.

If the cats are in league with the carpet monster, you, sir, are royally screwed

Yep, Tai, old, male, and irritable has got needy recently which presents as warming his bum on the computer and distracting me from modelling by sitting on whatever I am trying to do!

It won't last.  Cats never keep their word and will definitely not stick to the terms of a pact, treaty or agreement with any other party.  You just can't trust them.

Cat's are brilliant long term strategists. Everything they do is intended to help them achieve their principal gaol. Which is World, or at least household, domination.  And yes I am a "Dog person"

I am currently reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and it has given me a new understanding into feline behaviour...

And the only, as far as I've seen, use of the term "high faluting" in a scholarly work.  I must break it back out for some light reading on the train

Ok Starfighter is done - it's OK but I need more practise painting canopies.
I will post it soon.
Wondering what to do next - Thinking about a Portuguese Sabre in the overall light grey Scorpions scheme.
Yes it's a Wif as they tried to get more Sabres from the Luftwaffe.

I'm useless and wasn't much better before my medical issues    If I can't get a mask set then I use pre-painted strips of very thin masking tape. I got some at Telford a couple of years ago which goes down to 0.5mm width and then goes up in increments of 0.25mm.

I have picked up a 1mm masking tape so I will paint it as needed and then seal it with Klear - at least that is the plan
