The Blue Tailed Fly

[John Bowden]

Thanks Don.

Yeah I seem to be on a Korean War kick at this time. Maybe we can get a thread started of just Korean War builds.

Just got the go ahead from Ken so it shouldn't be much longer.

Oh......... I've planted a AD Skyraider bug in Wills ear, hopefully after he finishes his F4U-4 corsair we can get him going the the SPAD.

Sure would love to see a Big Blue Mud Mover in Korean War markings!

Yes, Ken designed it to go with both his Panther and Cougarf models.

Splendid model, I like the finish on the nose, I had some problems with the nose of my model of FG (FG Grumman Phanther F9F), in the end I solved it, I like it!!!

[John Bowden]

Thanks Rapidtox.

Here's a better (???) picture of the bombs............ 500 lb GP & 250 lb GP

Hey Texman can I joint the Lilliputian Model Group for building a 250 lb. bomb in 1/48 scale........... It's pretty dang small for my big ham hands!!!

[John Bowden]

I'm trying to keep this alive............ hello anybody out there?......there?....there?

Here are a couple more picture of bombs........

All Bombed up......... I just eye-john the racks on the wing, I'll add witness marks on the wing for the release.

And Too Much?........ I'm wondering if sway braces and internal formers are too much for 1/48 scale? Any comments?

Anyway........

[Don Boose]

I'm speechless.

Your bombs are -- as Carl would say -- da bomb.

When do you stop adding details and make it available?

Don

[John Bowden]

Hey Don,

It's like eating pistachios....... you can never stop until they are all gone!

To quote Abby......... "Have you ever eaten just ONE pistachio??"

To be honest, the bombs and racks are causing more problems than just the re-color. But as I famously say, "I'm almost there"

Me and Curt are doing the Beta builds and it's looking pretty good.

But you know, I might just change the....................

Thanks for the interest Don.......... and congrats on another good Heritage day! I read CDavenports thread.
