This is waiting on my shelf of doom for a long time now.
So I'm watching yours to be finished.

Looking good

Joe Marrero
Thank you

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful indeed!

Skyhiker
I absolutely love your model but you need to replace the acrylic cover to the case. It doesn't do your work justice.

Joe Marrero
This was my first time working with acrylic. I made two covers and they both came out terrible.

Skyhiker
It's best to have them cut at the store or to use a proper circular saw. Here is a good video on making display cases: Youtube Video

What did you use to make those perfect waves? The color of the sails is gorgeous.

James C
Me too! 👀👍

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

DerMattes
Watching 👍

Slavo Hazucha
Tuning in for the show - cockpit already looks fab, incl. the mission-read elements! 👍🏻

Robert Podkoński
Joining the party!

Zbynek Honzik
That looks like an awesome ride! I'll take the seat!

Bill Gilman
I've uploaded more photos that document the build progress, which has been very slow. Sorry about that, but life keeps getting in the way. I've had a variety of health issues and I'm heading to the oncologist next week to set up a time for a biopsy on some nodes in my neck. Hopefully it's just related to a sinus infection I've been fighting and not the lymphoma coming back. Keeping my fingers crossed. Cheers, Bill

Robert Podkoński
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too, Bill. Great job on the model btw. Keep it up!

Zbynek Honzik
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes well with your health, Bill. 🍀

Nicolas
I also keep my fingers crossed that everything will be fine with your health.

Bill Gilman
I used up a few bottles of semi-gloss white, but the Victor is now a "white whale." Thanks for the kind words on my health - I go in on Feb. 29 for a sinus surgery and tissue collection for biopsy. Fingers crossed. I tried to cross my toes but was unsuccessful... Cheers, Bill

gorby
Hope the biopsy doesn't find anything bad Bill.
The Victor looks excellent so far.

Bill Gilman
Oh, by the way - after two weeks (!) of testing my oncologist decided the biopsies were negative. Dodged another bullet.

Guy Rump
Looking great following. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Good to hear this, Bill. Carry on!

Great news Bill.

Rando
Love the Victor but even more glad to hear the good news!

Bill Gilman
Thanks mates. I've added a couple more photos that show the painting of the landing gear and air brake internals. I've also painted the wheels, gear doors and air brake petals (photos soon). Up next is to paint the dielectric panels on the underside as well as the H2S radome. Cheers, Bill

Augie
Love the work so far 🙂 watching in my usual seat.

Bill Gilman
Two more photos added showing some detail painting. I'm off to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware tomorrow for a week of spending what's left of my retirement portfolio. Unfortunately there are no hobby shops anywhere near where we'll be. But the Air Mobility Command museum at Dover AFB should make up for that.

Michael Kohl
Very nice progress so far.

Bill Gilman
Nearing the finish line on this one. The stickers are all on, and I really like how they performed. Hardly any film outside the design, and they snuggled down nicely with the usual solvents. I didn't see any silvering. Next up will be a few coats of a semi-gloss clear, and then I can attach the remaining bits. It's been a long build, but it was interrupted several times. Next project will be smaller! Cheers, Bill

Thomas Kolb
That is an exceptionally clean build and paintjob, I am super impressed with the decals too.
