Love that one ! The jmns are going to go crazy when you tell them about the hybrid.

I really like the new tail Eddie. With the four-bladerd prop next to the fuse, it makes me think you're up-grading this to a P-63 Kingcobra even though I could swear the tail is from a Mustang.

Excelsior, Zoe. May flights of angels send thee to thy rest.

Good eye, BdaB.

That a Mustang tail that I had to fix a bit because it had started off as a T-tail. I added some plastic but intentionally used a different shape for deceptive reasons.

Yeah, and it's big too.

It's not the size of the tip tank, but what you do with it.

I really like those tanks! Looking good, Eddie!

Listen, how am I ever supposed to get any work done on my own Speed-Metal build if I have to keep checking out your own fabulous updates?

Eddie,

Sorry to hear about Zoe. She was a lovely cat.

Love the project so far. The new tail, is it from a P-51?

Thank you about Zoe. The kids are going to line the grave with a little fence, some rocks, etc. I'm going to the local trophy shop and get a name plate made.

Here's what I did for the other cats at the old house. After we left, I've heard there has been a few more added to make it ( imagine Stephen King's face and him saying) Pet Cemetary.
As you can see, I used to be a welder..

Yes it is and it went on with hardly any fight!

The end of day 2 results. Paint tomorrow.

A very neat jungle fighter!

Sorry for your loss Eddie. This is the hardest thing that any of us pet lovers will have to do. Much as we hate to, it is a responsibility that we all accept.

The paw prints on your heart will remain with you forever, my friend. RIP Zoe

And that's a pretty scrappy looking COIN fighter you got going there.

Thanks Jeff. I appreciate it very much. Tiger gave me this look tonight that said, "Quit being a wuss and get back to work!"

I'm now back to work on the Spitfire, Cessna 172LR and this little ditty. Got the primer on tonight, despite the high winds and cold temps.
