That is looking great and I am waiting for the finish to be done.  If it flies like my B-25all you basically have to do is hold neutral and tight lines for take off.  Now I have all the moving surfaces lined up I hope to get more flight on the B-25.  Just need to learn how to operate this camera I purchased of the bay.  In fact I have different cameras.  One is a Snap Cam  tap n' snap and the other is a Go Pro Hero.  May have to take grand son or wife to run the cameras.

 The past few evenings have been spent doing more final touch-up filling, sanding, priming, sanding, priming, filling, sanding, priming, sanding, DENTING, filling, sanding, priming, sanding...not necessarily in that order.  n~

 You're far from slow Doc, watching the forum here you've cranked out quite a few new models in the past couple years. I'd almost bet more than anyone else here.  y1

I now have 4 more almost ready for test flights.   Also after seeing a video some where I'm redesigning my combat stooge.  That is if launch angle made steeper doesn't help. D>K

 Well, after another long hiatus I finally got around to shooting some color on the P-38 the past couple evenings. I'd originally planned on getting into it hot-n-heavy last fall, finishing it, and then starting in on the next build. As last summer and fall wound down I was really looking forward to a more productive building season since I hadn't accomplished much over the past couple. As it turned out I've been fighting a nasty plantar fasciitis problem that popped up in early October, both feet, and I've been half-stepping and hobbling around like a 100 year old since then. Extreme pain practically 24/7, standing, sitting, doesn't matter, and it's been all I can do to continue making it to work. Wah-wah-wah, but it does REALLY suck. Anyway, this has resulted in me spending zero time in the shop all winter but I'm now sucking it up and basically forcing myself to try and get this thing done. Pretty soon I'll get some fresh pics going here in the Painting & Finishing section.

Wow! I missed this entire build thread while I was away. I just spent the last hour reading all of it. Quite a project! Looking forward to more pictures, though.

Wayne, I think you’re me just in MN. We always seem to have the same issues. Allergies, foot problems..ect.  LL~

It's red...very, very red


It certainly is. Hope you've got a good pair of sunglasses.
