As Rafael said a toast to all those who went before!  
Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Thank you Everyone. Tonight's the family recieves visitors and tomorrow is the funeral. We waited because my sister was out of country. Maybe after the funeral iI can get back to some plastic mayhem. In the mean time, Berny13's care package arrived with a full load of goodies. I found a set of tanks for the wing tips.  :)

My deepest condoleances regarding your Grandpa Eddie...

Lest we forget...

Thank you Everyone for your kind thoughts. B) I've got a little more done tonight. I've run into a brickwall as far as blending the booms to the plane, but I'm slowly working my way through it. :party:

QuoteI've run into a brickwall as far as blending the booms to the plane, but I'm slowly working my way through it.
Hopefully this will not come across as pedantic:

You might want to try very thin strips of Evergreen plastic to blend the booms into the nacelles on your B-25 instead of the cardstock you are currently using.  The thin strips will conform to the gaps and compound curves better and you can easily sand them down to the desired general contours after they're built up.  Then, you can finish it off later with a relatively minimal amount of Tamiya putty.

Thanks JHM B) I'll be using that one in the future. I think I've finished the weapons load by adding this 105mm cannon. It's attached by a swing and actuator so that it may be brought up into the bomb bay for reloading.

How about the turboprops off a C-130 instead of these pistons?

Looks fantastic Eddie! Can't wait to see it finished. I've just got back from a lengthy trip to the Far East (shipped over 20kg/45lbs of kits back!) and it's great to see what whif magic has unfolded in my absence.
