Very, very nice work Lee.

I was at the opening of the American Air Museum at Duxford in 1997 (working unfortunately), and two of these and a P51 flew over. The scream of those pistons is something I'll never forget

Peter. Thanks for stopping by and the complement I once had a P-51 do a flyby where I was unloading and finished with a barrel roll what a site.

John. The decals are the best I’ve ever used. They work well with Microset sol. I’m on the home stretch. Thanks for the complement

Looks good Lee. I got some detail shots of a scraper for your construction equipment build.
I think it's the same one, will pm them to you when I get back from the left coast.

In that case Lee, I hope you won't mind if I build one myself. Just bought a 3D printed crawler so I might be picking your brain for scraper info. lol. Rick H.
