Surely that's not your modelling desk as well? It's so neat and clean! Rocky must be an excellent housekeeper. But I do wish he would stop smiling so much. It's creeping me out, man.

You are correct... with 3 kids at home, I model at work during lunch (time permitting)... Also I apologize to everybody waiting for the Brent P-47 build as I got distracted and build this guy (XF-92A by S&P). Really awesome kit and I could not resist building it at 1/50. The Brent build is next in line as I consider the S&P XF-92A a momentary distraction.

Very nice clean build.

Looks good! Is it the 1:300 model scaled up?

**MichaelS** · #55 04-15-2018, 12:50 PM

That lil thing scaled up very well!

That is what is soooooo nice about S&P Planes, they scale up very very nice! If Bruno changes his output format I will go bonkers! Original scale is 1/100... did print 5 each copies at 1/100 scale so after the Brent P-47 I will build those.

that's a neat build. when I get bogged down in a build Bruno has tons of quick fix builds that break the monotony.

Falco, you're right about S&P models enlarging nicely. The other night I was fiddling about and enlarged Brent's 'Boog' to 1/24- the screenshot was flawless.

I've done it with others and same deal.

The New "Modified" 1/50 S7P P-47B "Boog" is a failure... the Cowling is too small to fit due to the extended "Conical" shaped Mid Fuselage Section (See photos). I double check the scale and it is correct. It appears that Brent needs to enlarge the Cowling by X amount to go over Mid Section of the Fuselage. Since I model at work I can't really experiment to determine the proper size increased needed to correct this. I will wait until Brent can Figure it out. In the mean time I will attempt a 1/50 build of the "unmodified" Boog (Brent's original repaint).

That's a real shame Falco. It was really shaping up nicely. Maybe you're predestined to only build in 1/100 (VERY subtle hint

).

BTW, your models print out really smooth and glossy. Looks really nice- do you print at photo quality settings or something?
