Oh Lord! HOW can you dare pronouncing such ugly words...

Hehehe, indeed Tophe. 

Hopefully the weirdness of the rest of the aircraft will make up for it.

Love the TriStang!

The port wing is now extended and had it's 2nd PSR session, and the rest of the airframe is on maybe its EIGHTH PSR session! 

Getting the resin Merlins to match the fuselages on this model is far worse than on previous P-82s I've built, not sure why. I've sanded all the raised panel lines off now, and I'll wait before scribing some in, but I'm not going overboard on that, just a few here and there. With a bit of luck I'll get the first primer coat on later today and then I'll see just how much more PSR I'll need, I suspect maybe 2-3 more sessions.

[PR19_Kit]

More and more and MORE PSR work and I've gone as far as I can go without going totally bananas so I've primed it. It's not quite as bad as I thought it would be, the extended wing joint will need some more work, and the fuselage joints will need a little trimming up, but it's not too bad really.





But it sure takes up a LOT of space!

P-82: the plane for the pilot who doesn't like his co-pilot.

YP-82L: the plane for the pilot who REALLY doesn't like his co-pilot!

Beautiful. That is looking really good now. Or should I say REALLY good lol

[Tophe]

It's not bad at all, it's really good!

[KiwiZac]

Looks pretty darned good! Those big wings work really well.

I've finally finished the seemingly endless PSR sessions on the Tri-Stang.

Monogram's raised panel lines look fine on a stock RW model but any Whiffications render them superfluous and they all need to be removed, which is the very devil of a job, but they're all gone now. Of course that leaves the airframe looking somewhat bare so I've re-scribed the ailerons, flaps and elevators and then I gave it the initial coat of Halfords Silver, which looks OK but makes the airframe look even more bare so I'll have to add some more panel lines before I go any further, and it's a job I HATE with a passion!

Ohhhhh Shiny!!

I just bought a 1/72 F-82 kit. Hmmmmm... I should have bought two.....

[KiwiZac]

I finished a 1/72 F-82 not long ago and now I'm eying it up for surgery! It looks great!

[Librarian]

Considering the amount of surgery and modifications you've put in that is a blindingly good finish for NM. Best of luck with the rescribing .

[Tophe]

Of course that leaves the airframe looking somewhat bare so...

Mayve you should argue with the words bare, nude, but be proud using the word "pure"...
