<snip>The prospector/mule pair looks good for other settings, right off the bat.

Ditto! 

The box art is gorgeous but looks more like a donkey. The kit, on the other hand, looks more like a small horse (short muzzle, shortish ears).

To my eyes, neither has caught 'mule'. So, maybe a bit of 'corrective surgery' ... or am I just nit-picking here?

Looking good, Jeff!

Is your folding-wing TB2D-1 Havoc on hold due to that wing cut issue ... or is one of these fuselages destined to go to sea?

So, this is pretty much it ...

I wouldn't use the word "pretty" ... but there's plenty of awesomeness here 

And the zombie Teddy Bear cracks me up

This one fought me all the way ... so I'm calling it done 

Jeffry Fontaine has pointed out that the correct period designation for these would have been something like PBB-1 - for Patrol Bomber Boeing - not 'PB-1' as I have it.  Doh!

But Jeff also provided a link to the XPBB Sea Ranger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_XPBB_Sea_Ranger

That gorgeous 'boat flew in July 1942 and served on until 1947. So, now I'm wondering if my patrol-bomber Fortresses should have been 'PB2Bs'?

Either way, thanks again Jeff

Here's the front axle under construction:



vs real one:



The fluted wheel attachments are from two of the kit's road wheels.
