            Thanks guys.
            Dzohn, the little bird that sings "spring is here...spring is here" returned yesterday at a glorious dawn. Today it's cold & raining.
            Lee, the Jug is to overfly the Red Ball Express dio. I couldn't find a decent 1/87 one.
            Rick, a crap shoot, as the Apache 3cm is a challenge, but the Hellcat beckons.....

              Great idea Paul. I do the same with my layouts one will be in the background for a optical illusion of one big layout

                Well Paul, just so you know, I prefer the SU-100's I'm doing, as opposed to my Hind 24D.......I'm quite sure it will look good in the end, but SOOOOO may tiny little "this and that", that must go in order 'cause once it's glued together.....you live with it. :thumb2:

                  Coming along nicely Paul. As always, I’m amazed you can find anything on that bench

                      It awaits some pilots. Don't want to add outside stuff till inside is competed.

                        Pilots arrived, waiting for paint. Some progress in construction.

                          Those are looking fine my friend......your canopy looks a lot better than mine! Dam tape bled in several places had to scrape the extra paint off and re-polish it! PITA. Mine will be unmanned.

                              Thanks Rick & Andrew.
                              Most of the time Dzohn, but when the "arthur itis" hits I just screw with the engineers. There's always something easy to do. Lately I cut 30 12' 6x6s for treadway over 24 20' 6x6 sleepers for a truss & pipe/pile supported 60' bridge to be carried by my 1103E elements. Fingers really need 65F to work well.

                                Hoping for spring temps to finish these off.
