I am finally finnishing up my Ju 52. Work is still progressing on my B-24. Its in the painting stage now. Since I have more room now I plan to start the big 1/48 B-29. This is gonna take up a big chunk of space.

Very nice! Is the 1/32 F4U the largest scale made for the Corsair? Is there a 1/24 out there?

I wish there was....

Finnished the 1/72 B-24. In it's place started a 1/48 F6F and a 1/48 Me-163. Progress has been very slow on the B-29 due to trips. I'll see about posting pics when I get back.

Finally got around to working on the B-29 again. I assembled the fuselage and put the wings on. After assembling the wings I realized that there wer big gaps between the wings and the rest of the plane. So out comes the putty. This was the biggest hole I have encountered on a model. Another problem was the bomb bay doors. The doors did not fill up the entire space leaving two more big gaps to putty. I think that I am done with the putty for now.

F6F-- First time I have attempted the tri-color scheme. I tried masking off and using spray paint just to finnish the model. I also wanted the high gloss affect. It looks pretty good but there is only a few minor problems that I had to fix. When I attached the wings, one of the wing's entire attaching points broke so that was no fun.

Me-163-- Assembled model and in the painting mode now. I haven't decided what paint scheme to follow, I didn't like the one on the box. So progress has kind of slowed down on it.
