PTO - Japanese WWII GB

[scratchmod]

Ian, this is the planes GB mate. If there are enough who want to, then you can start an armor PTO GB.

T I lost 4 hours bench time tonight... took the missus to dinner, then 4 hours at the Casino .
I'm not wiring a thing dude. In fact after test fitting the office in the fuselage, there will be VERY little to see. So I won't go nuts with painting in that area. Will maybe get a couple of hours tomorrow, then back to the armor

[modelfreak72]

Never fear the the freak is here!

T , I do believe that you can handle this one! Though it might be cheaper to drive down and drop it off than send it!

Rob, anything you need just ask! Taking the wife out to dinner is good thing, could give more bench time.?

CB, sweet choice, the Rex is great kit!

Chris, I would like to see you build a corsair! I don't think I've seen you build one?

Here are the planes I'm thinking about doing for the GB. I may do one or all, not sure. But I would like to hear from you guys which one you would like to see done. Let me know what you think.

[chrisb]

For me it would be the Myrt!
Made a start on the Rex last nite,and sort of got carried away...

Put the office together and got some colour on it.Still got to pick out detail.The donk won't get too much,cos you can hardly see it when it's all buttoned up!

Laid some colour on the pit walls...and put together the wings,and the big floaty bit.....


the lines you can see on the float,are so that i can re scribe the panel lines once I've rubbed down the seam.
Hope you like so far..

[chrisb]

A bit more this morning.....and what modeller cant' resist a full 'dry fit' ;D





Any comments more than welcome.....Gonna try and get in the paintshop this afternoon.It's a bit wet around here at the mo'

[TRM]

Hey oh Gents!!

Pete you made it back....from wherever whence you came? LOL!!! I hear ya, but it aint easy getting lost in Wingyland and me with no protection!! I am with CB on this one...the Myrt, but if that Corsair don't get the juices going!!!

Sorry Boss!! Loss of bench time, loss of cash, paint dried AB....happy wife ???fine line there kid!!

CB - Look at you go!!! Very nice indeed!! Talking some paint too?!!! Hope the weather holds out for you!

I am a little farther along than this...just not that much. Looking to get into the booth a little later this morning!



LOL...I joked about lopping off the pinky but Karma got the better of me Boss....before it started to flow!!



In the office...nothing fancy here.



Last but not least the Donkey!!



Like I said, AB is warming up but it's only 6AM here, sun is shinning and the coffee is flowing!! ;D

I did manage to clean my AB this morning...that sucked. Caked paint....but the AK acrylic cleaner did a fine job of it.

[Chris.S]

Well then ,looks like 24hrs is nearly up and da planes are'nt finished ....no knitting for me then lol

Chris.

[chrisb]

I bet you're relieved,eh,Chris S??

[TRM]

Fair enough Chris!! Things always move right along, then that "life" thing gets in the way!!!

Here is something to keep you busy. I let loose with the dremel and the Pounce Wheel for more rivets and cut cut cut!! I just shot the primer and will lay down some base down later on maybe. Think you will see where I am heading, you can call me a chicken later on!!





That will teach that kit!!! LOL!! I promise Mr.S there will come a day I will make one clean.....just not yet!!! Stay tuned for the paint fest!!!

[chrisb]

Chris.

[modelfreak72]

CB and T, What?! Wait a sec, did you lock your wives in the closet so you could have the whole weekend to build? Very nice work boys!

T, been hiding in the gimps factory and North Afrika GB building armor. But these wingy things are calling to me and I don't think I can resist much longer! Oh! Do I need to send you a thimble! ;D

The Myrt it is!

Ok I just posted this and I look and more stuff showed up while I was typing! Ok Take two!

Chris, You lucked out buddy!

T, what the frak! I think I smell a dio!

[TRM]

Now that was a good chuckle!! To think I would build something that had a chance of flying!! LOL!!!!!! I have a couple left here. I think I will need both you guys to help!!!

[TRM]

I hear N. Afrika is nice this time of year Pete!! Glad you made it over!! You can send the Thimble...only if there is vodka in it ;D

Looking forward to you breaking into that kit!!!

[scratchmod]

Mine got shelved this morning after cleaning the AB. Hoped to get a lot done on my tank break yesterday but oh well, another day. got to wreck a T-34 now that I see t is distracted by the wingie. trying to stay one step ahead of you bro..((LOL))

[modelfreak72]

T, the PZ's are in full bloom! Just tell me what kind of vodka!

[modelfreak72]

[TRM]

Boss...you just have too much going on brotha'!! Fell the force...all around you...in the trees, the rocks! ;DI would hate to know how many kits you and I have underway at the moment!! ...........

[chrisb]

[DickyF]

Jeez ya turn ya back for five minutes and all hell breaks loose!!!! CB's half finished another wingy and Tiberius's almost finished half a wingie!!!!

Nice work fellas good to see this GB progressing nicely

BTW Thomasina PTO stands for Pacific Theatre of Operations NOT Partly Trashed OK!!!!!

[chrisb]

(((((LOL))))) ;D
BTW Mr F....I'll have you know mine is all stuck together now.....just contemplating whether to do an 'in service' or 'Factory fresh' build,seeing as only 97 were built,before they developed the 'Shinden' land based version!

[spud]

LOL T i new it was gona be Epic ;D

[scratchmod]

T I don't even want to count bro. I can save a good dozen for sure. This might be why none of my kits are "new" in the box..((LOL))
