Seconded! I didn't get the opportunity 1st time for various reasons, despite my good intentions. :-\

Thanks, guys!  Larry, need you even ask?  ;)

I still have plenty of books- and I'll do  sketch in your copy.  http://www.storenvy.com/stores/472326-chukstuff

NOTE:  Overseas (from me) buyers- don't let the high postage rate put you off- it's the max for shipping to Dubai.  I had to put something in!   Look at the general shipping for France, Austrailia, Japan, etc listed.  Much better!

Cheers!

Life after a big move throws a lot of surprises at you, along with all of life's regular highs and lows.  Just in modeling I've gone through periods of not even looking at the bench, to hours of studying the subject and subsequent squalls of charging ahead and then banging my against the table.  It's been about 7 weeks since my last post, so here's a long one for you.  Forgive me if I reiterate some basics- my original mission remains to instruct and entertain, and help grow our beloved hobby.  Cheers!

Thanks, gents!  It's been kindly pointed out to me that GS Mr Color Leveling Thinner, Tamiya yellow cap and regular thinners and even isopropyl rubbing alcohol will work on Mr Surfacer with less or no damage to styrene- great tips!

Thanks, FAAMAN!

Progress!  Here's the latest from my bench- enjoy!  It may be a while before the next update- I've got another project that will sideline the LanceR for a bit.  I'll let you know more about that as soon as I can- cheers!

Those "rude little fellas" look like IRCM units (Infra-Red Counter-Measures) to jam IR-guided SAMs and AAMs.  Just about every military flying machine has them these days (well, maybe not trainers, but...).  Truly gorgeous and inspiring work.

I suspect they are actually part of the Elisra SPS-20 warning system fitted to the LanceRs.

To paraphrase an old saying, "I may not know much about modern jets, but I know what I like!"

And I really like where this baby is going, Chuk! Wish I had but 1/10th your patience & skill for detailing, it sure is a treat to catch the play-by-play!

Can't wait to see the Romanian markings! Far too few of them 'round these parts...

Thanks to you, Jeffry and Darryl!  I'm still waiting for my "mystery project", so I've pressed on with the LanceR.  You do a lot with scrap wire, brass tube and styrene if you put your mind to it!
