Hello Fellas! For some of you old enough to remember the the old site  Anyway! I had started my M7B2 for the KGB, subsequently never finishing. Well, I am having another go! Except this time I am heading into a slightly different direction. Before this might have been operational and had served in Korea, now, not so much!!  This was the kit:  I had gotten as far as this...     Other than priming the base and suspension, that was pretty much it. Yesterday I decided to try and dig into it again. Mainly because if I didn't, I would end up starting another Aircraft build!! LOL!!! Here is how she stands tonight. I extended the pulpit and made an add on plate for the front.  Finished 92.8% of the exterior. A few grab handles to go and one front transitional plate...oh yeah, welds!!!     Another day messing with some little things and she is ready for paint!!! As always, thanks for stopping in and staying a spell!! ;D |

Well if you hit the LHS just stay away from the A6M8! I forgot you had an Avenger, forget the Japanese. Go with a Tricolor they purdy that way. But I'd like to see what you got planned for the M7 first.

I watched "Letter's from Iwo Jima" a couple weeks ago and saw the try color....that is Bad A$$!! If another comes out, it might be the Avenger but I fancy the Float jobbies from the Yamato or Nagato....very cool!! Maybe with a catapult or on the crane!!! LOL...first things first!!! |

How did I miss an M7? It's one of my all time favourites, and built by T(add whatever you want, Dicky) will end up in a masterpiece |

Bad mix....to much humidity...stupidity  Just was not mixing correctly. Cleaned the AM and the upper hull and back to square one! I was not to far along so its not a big loss, not to mention the prime coat was a rattle can I was able to wash the pieces and still have a prime coat on! |

Nice paintwork man. This is looking great so far.

Anyway! I had started my M7B2 for the KGB, subsequently never finishing. Well, I am having another go! Except this time I am heading into a slightly different direction. Before this might have been operational and had served in Korea, now, not so much!!
