    Stuart Masking the canopies complete and glued on.  

    Lots of prep going on for Heritagecon.

     

    Geoff. Busy month… Finished the Moosearoo entry (Arma Hobbies 1/72 P51B) and submitted pictures as required - first podcast over the line according to Iain! Also finished and delivered the two 1/18 jet builds to the London Jet Aircraft Museum and submitted the associated article to IPMS Canada. Finished the CL52 and Orenda Iroquois engine and the related article for IPMS Canada as well. Finished construction of my first Gundam ever - an ancient Bandai molding of Dijeh. Finally, working on the Airfix 1/144 Concorde prototype and production versions - both kits came in one box from the Broughdale Stash. All that finishing and starting, as well as two weeks of family visit time… Phew!

    Some time working on the military version of the Ki-1 “Babs.” It looks good, and is in the gloss coat phase. I’ve also spent some more time masking the Bandai drop ship and cleaning up the Halberd Models Curtiss Seahawk. That’s really nice.

    Geoff builds a Gundam!

    Anthony - Slowly beating my way through my stalled out guilt-inducing projects! Putting decals on my 1/144th EYE-Zak in Titans Test Team livery, which was a major conversion project that I started only years before they released a new tool kit!

    WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

    Stuart - Too much real life means not much bench time. Did get a start on the landing gear on the Beaufighter.

    Geoff - working on the two 1/18 scale ceiling models for the Jet Aircraft Museum.  Discovered that the wings were missing a full section, so had to fabricate that from sheet styrene and putty.  Not happy with the ghost camouflage airbrushing job, so that’s going to need more work.  Lots of new skills are being developed!  80 hours invested in the two of them so far…..

    Terry - A bit of work on the Babs models, not a lot of progress.  Started the Hasegawa Regult from Macross, since I don’t have enough open projects already.  If I can find my tiny drill bits or buy some more I can drill fine holes to rig the Kamikaze Babs, and it will be done.  A little bit of work on the Moscato Dragon.

    Anthony - VF-4G Lightning III is done!

    WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

    Stuart: Working on the 1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter for the group build. Great fun.

    Also started work on 2 BattleTech mini’s.

    Geoff. Focused on building two 1/18 3D printed “kits” supplied by the Jet Aircraft Museum of London Ontario: a Canadair F5D and a T33. The printing was very rough, but the shapes are close. Lots of sanding and scratch building are required to get close to a decent representation, but the sheer scale of these things is impressive. Rivet counters need not apply!

    [foogallery id="3076"]

    Terry: Finished and photographed the Halberd Models NF-51T NASA Turbo Cavalier Mustang (link to masking file) and Dora Wings’ P-43 Lancer. Now working on the two Fine Molds Ki-15 Babs and Kamikaze versions. Also working on the Moscato 1/72 F203 Dragon kit - mostly primary building and surface correction.

    Stuart - Finishing the 1/144 Bandai X-Wing, getting ready for the group build with a 1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter.

    Geoff - focused on finishing the construction of a new guest room/sewing room for my wife, so not much time on the bench. Picking away at finishing the Bachem Natter. Also getting back to the CL52!

    Chris - Recently finished the massive Revell SR-71. No regrets! Aside from some tedious filling and re-scribing around the nacelles, it went well. My review is at: http://modelairplanemaker.com/2022/11/10/1-48-revell-sr-71-blackbird-americas-middle-finger/ and my painting video is at https://youtu.be/zNuUQ2o0vfg. Next up is the Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair for the Group Build starting December 1:

    Terry - Finishing up the Dora Wings P-43 and Cavalier Mustang. Now I’m just waiting on a brass pitot for the Mustang, then they’re done! The Christmas birds are essentially done, I did start building the Bandai V-33 Stork mech carrier to do a quick paint job but have been convinced to do a very challenging paint scheme, for which I’ve cut some vinyl masks. So…holiday time maybe? Pacific group build choices are two Mitshubishi C5M2 “Babs” aircraft.

    The sewer line was repaired, the leaking shower was repaired, which needs to be replaced, and solar panels were installed, Kiowa departed and missed. ☹️

    Recent discoverer of your podcast and love it...great news and tips but the best is the banter between you all, and of course the guests.

    I noted in the most recent podcast there was mention made of "UK museums in England" or similar. Just wanted you to know we have some great aviation museums here in sunny Scotland as well, including the National Museum of Flight just south of Edinburgh, which contains a Concorde, Vulcan, Spitfire, Harrier, Tornado, Canberra and of course the only place in the UK where there is a Red Arrows Hawk on display. Well worth a visit!

    National Museum of Flight

    Anyway...wanted to pick your brains...a few years ago I flew in a T6 Harvard in Florida...I now have the 1/48 kit to make, but wanted two civilian pilots to add in. Do any of you know where I might find 1/48 scale civilian pilots? 

    Also on the subject of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson...were you guys aware he flies and displays his own WW1 fighter aircraft (a Fokker Triplane) as part of the WW1 Memorial Flight. Saw him at RIAT a few years ago and quite the display.

    Thanks again guys, love the podcast! We had some RCAF Hornets pass through my local airport recently (Prestwick International Airport) and managed to grab some photos...handy for weathering references (need to scroll down the page a bit)

    Cheers, and looking forward to each episode.

    WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

    Stuart - Arma Hurricane is done with paint on major assemblies, only sub-assemblies left to paint are wheels. Gloss coat is next in preparation for decals.

    Terry -

    Painting going well on the Cavalier Mustang. NASA Stripes added, anti-glare added but I forgot to mask off the walkway. I’m pretty happy with it so far. 

    This year’s Christmas birds are cut out and primed, now I have to start painting. I’m actually a bit ahead of when I usually start these. It’s a secret until I mail them out and they’re received by the recipients.
