• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

(686, I do believe, you're beginning to understate, in yer old age - couple of years ago, you would have been clear jumpin up and down. Lol.)

Maturity!
Is what some clever bugger will post...or something to that effect, but they don't know what comes AFTER that...that's where I am right now...:sheep::USA-flag:

Uhhhhh, Ohhhh! Back to the aircraft:

looks businesslike and makes it an even more beautifully ugly brute - quite...

Hmmm... maybe so. Best to keep it under yer hat for now mate. BTW... even at my age, I have been known to jump up and down with the best of the younger blokes. Not so much over "props" tho... but then again....:kilroy:

Right, then!!

Finished the landing gear doors; got the fuselage star and bar fitted, applied some grime to the gear wells and a few various and sundry other tweaks and cosmetics applied.

Chipped and worn paint around the frequently removed engine and belly panels and fasteners is up next.

Ooooops! When did THIS get posted? :isadizzy:

Love the motto and the work!

You have worked painstakingly hard to mold this paint scheme (and my modeling) into something worthwhile. Hopefully we can make the VC interior as nice.
