Well after a long absence I am back. Health issues with Dad are going well. He has adjusted to the assisted living facility and is even modeling again, it was a long and stressful road I do not wish to visit any time soon. After all the BS I went out and treated myself to a brand new shotgun and a Grex Genesis XS......shotgun to airbrush....WTF!......never mind LOL....off to the build. Hasagawas 1/32 P-47D was the order for the next build. I decided to test my patience with a PE set from Eduard and this is what I got so far.   I think the IP looks the part:  got the seat belts done, took a good 3 hours but got them done.....damn sausage sized fingers.  more to come gents, trying to get this baby done before the show on the 21st.

I have more pictures gents and will try to upload this evening late.
Dave - they removed the stint in the bile duct and sent him home, 4 hours later a major infection. Rushed to the VA and they were packed and sent him OHSU, the doc called me and said 20 more minutes and he would be dead.................Oh and to top it off, three more stones in the bile duct that the VA missed......................AGAIN!
Deep breath
Bob

Ok so got the front office completed and managed to get the wings, stabs, flaps and other fiddlies completed and sanded. Front office    Fiddlies     Engine  Fuselage halves together and sanding now and should be completed this weekend. Test fitted the wings and seem OK but will need some filler on the underside.
