Though I don't have a kit of the beast, I like seeing it built. I also helped a friend of mine build his desired Thunderbolt by printing his custom decals.

Thanks Maciej, I'd love to know how you print decals....it's one of those distant projects I have in mind. This project is queued, perhaps will get done this year?
@Pietro: thanks for taking a look.

This heaviest fighter aircraft of WWII is a fascinating aircraft. Good luck with your build!

Nice choice Andy. Your stash and mine have a lot of matches. Only difference is mine ain't getting reduced very fast! Looking forward to seeing this nonetheless!

Cuajete
I hope to catch the flight on time at the last call.
Good start, Andy 👍

@Slavo: it is my proper office with a lap top and everything…..😉
@ bughunter in plastic it's surprisingly light, probably lighter than the 1970s moulds 😂
@ Neil…"fools seldom differ?…." I have to keep nudging you out of 76th armour into a certain 72nd Typhoon?!!!….
@"Calling Mr Cuajete….gate P47 closing soon"….glad you made it!!!
20 April 2023, 20:01
Andy Ball
Thank-you Gustavo, a little more done today on the base-shading
23 April 2023, 13:46
Neil Patrick
The Typhoon just got sidelined again Andy. My current project has gone up in scale though. From 1/76 to 1/72... 😉
Your 'pit looks fantastic BTW!
23 April 2023, 23:36
Andy Ball
Thanks Mark K for taking a look.
@Neil: the war will be over in Europe before Tiffie's finished 😉, I admire your ambition in the movement from 76 to 72nd without a safety net!! Thanks for the comment!

Appreciate the visit Nils G, and the others too.

The metallized looks great, Andy 👍
24 April 2023, 20:10
Andy Ball
Thanks Cuajete, still perfecting the AK Xtreme metallics. But the moulds really pop out under their coverage.

Bernd Grün
Great progress! 👌

Nice mascot on cowling, Andy. Handmade decal?

Pietro De Angelis
Andy,
admiring your works is a feast for the eyes,
if you play the guitar as you do modeling lucky who listens to you,
congrats!
5 May 2023, 18:41
Andy Ball
@Cuajete, no it's a two-piece decal from the kit, Tamiya do that process of a white under-decal to give some depth to the detail.
@Pietro: that is a very gracious comment, I think my modelling skills are ahead of my guitar playing- I practice the former more than the latter!

Edward, thanks for cheering me over the line!
Guy- very very frightening, but jug's got the spark for certain
Cuajete: yes, I take your hint… I'm needing to do some better displays-any advice welcome!
