Wow, Ron. Wish you were producing these babies on the mass market for the rest of us to build.

The more I see of this build the truer JHM's sentiments become! I wish this was available in kit form minus the 10lb.s of putty work.

Dang it

if only you and Barry were a couple thousand more folks

. Thanks Jeff

Hi Ron,
I have`nt commented on this model for 3 reasons,
1
"Thanks all y'all This girl will be wearing ,at the request of many, very very off white. "
I may be big at 330lbs plus but I aint many
2
Waiting to see if you got the shade of very very off white just right.
3
Opening `Current and Finished Projects` without your name there didn`t seem right.

Beauty ! Very sisnister looking, and kinda Batman-ish, with all those lines and angles. Beauty !

That's some totally pro-style scribing work, Toolslinger!

I'm envious of your talent and skill!

Well I have gotten some work done. I worked on the cockpit.

Luckily the most excellent Jeffry Fontaine sent me a bunch o parts cause this cheesy kit came with no effin pilot figures

Oh yeah I also carved the louvers in the upper intakes

I have always wanted to try tinting future to make a colored windscreen , I used ink, dang that worked out well

Lovely. Liking this more & more, the dark paint job & the semi-tailess layout give it a very sinister kind of feel, get the feeling that what ever those pilots are up to, it'll be pretty nasty for the people on the ground!

Really nice plane... love the shape of the LERX and the inlets of the STOL engines!

Thanks Mossie and Blue unfortunately I am off modeling for about a week.

I have to fly to San Fran for a couple o days and then to freakin Pennsylvania for a couple . No room for modeling stuff

Mossie · March 01, 2009, 09:19:53 AM

Ah well, I'll just hve to wait a little longer to see this finished! Love the blue canopy by the way, did it come in that colour or did you paint it that way?

John Howling Mouse · March 01, 2009, 09:23:05 AM

Whoa, is this ever looking cooler by the minute. I was gonna be a smartXXX and ask if the canopy would actually fit over that tall fwd bang-seat but there it is, in all its tinted glory. Too bad it will be awhile until we get to see the next updates!

More inspirational stuff!!

Eddie M. · March 01, 2009, 07:25:40 PM

This is a real winner and the tinted canopy is genious!!
