Maciej BellosThough 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.

Andy BallThanks 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.

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

Neil PatrickNice 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!

Andy Ball@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!!!

Neil PatrickThe 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!

Andy BallThanks 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!

Andy BallThanks Cuajete, still perfecting the AK Xtreme metallics. But the moulds really pop out under their coverage.

Pietro De AngelisAndy,
admiring your works is a feast for the eyes,
if you play the guitar as you do modeling lucky who listens to you,
congrats!

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!

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!
