I think I can do a decent job of transfering this Beast into US Marines service. I'm also going to start a mystery Harrier.  ;D

Look behind you!

It's been a interesting weekend just passed and I have very little to show for it. Live music and BBQs tend to do that.  ;D I have made head way in some areas and here's a pic to show I've actually started this model.  :party:

Nice interior!  :o

Thank you :)

This is why I never throw out any leftover decals. I needed a I.P. for the panel I screwed up. Low and behold, I found a nice decal in the draw.  ;D



Look behind you!

There's been no childern in the house lately, so I been enjoying that time with my wife and modeling time is at a premium. Here's what I've got to date. Neat build, but I don't see how some of you build in 1/72 scale. The pieces are too small for my ham hock hands.  ;D

Look behind you!

Excellent progress! can't wait to see the next update  :thumbsup:

Simple, you look at the relative price of 1/48th kits to 1/72nd, look in your wallet, then square your shoulders and get down to the opticians again because it's cheaper..... ;D

Lovely gloss blue Eddie, really suits it.  :thumbsup:
