Just found this. Are the Billiken kits still available? Dave

Let's go new members...get your pics ready! The New Year is approaching!

Watching this with extreme interest... Any further progress made on this awesome model?

Hi Chuk, I know its been a while but I'm guessing a man as meticulous as you seem to be would keep copious notes on his builds. Would you happen to recollect the paints you used for the exterior camoflauge on this? It think it came out AWESOME! Thanks...for sharing all of your tyalen with us mere mortals! David

Love that exposed brick look. :D Great workbenches modelers! Thanks for posting!

Looks great! Love the paint weathering...even with the grainy pics I can see it will turn out awesome!

Very nice Jelle! You guys who build airliners always amaze me. Most build a clean aircraft. I think this is the first I've seen posted that has a touch of weathering on it. Looks very convincing. Well done! David

I remember watching these things flying in and out of Willow Grove, NAS. One of my favorite planes and you have done it justice. Congrats!

Very nice indeed! Could you tell me what brand and color paints you used to dress her? The colors look excellent, especially the digital camo. Thanks for sharing!

Archer, Looks good so far! I am building the same kit myself (still need to start a thread and post pics). Maybe tonight... Anyway, I have already begun to tackle that engine attachment area. Sanding will be a nightmare if you go at it the traditional way. I decided to attack it with chemical sanding instead. I use a blue automotive filler but any plastic putty will suffice. Then I took q-tips and pipe cleaners moistened with Cutex fingernail polish remover and immediately removed the excess, smoothing the fill to the level desired. Be careful you don't let it dry too much or yo

The finish is awesome! I Love the Colors! What brands and colors of paints did you use on this. Looks great! David

Very nice! I love the cordite staining at the muzzles. That looks great to my eye! :) David

Marinegunner, I sent you a PM with a link to a video tutorial that shows you how to display Photobucket pics on the ARC forum. Its so easy..even a Marine can do it. :D David US Army - 82nd Airborne Division : 1979-81 ;)

Okay, where'd you hide it? You put so much into this model that I'm wondering where the kitchen sink is! Very nice Viper! David

Very glad the video helped you Boats! I forgot to put this in that video but you can type on the same screen after you paste the code for your image. Just hit the Enter key a couple of times and start typing your caption. You can type above where you pasted the picture too. Have fun! Oh, and your homestead looks right fine. Love the lighthouse! and the wharf deck! Where do I tie up Harbor Master? David http://Harvestready.org/

Now THAT is a great idea! Using that ledger board to mount your lamps too is exactly the solution I was looking for! Very innovative! Thanks! David

Boats, 1- Have you successfully created a Photobucket account? 2- Have you been able to upload files from your computer to you Photobucket Account? Please lt me know. I can help you to do this I just need to know how far you've gotten. I'm gonna try and make this e-a-s-y. David

This will be an amazing build! Not only will it be a test of craftsmanship but the sheer endurance that it takes to persevere through a project of this magnitude is almost as inspirational as the skill! Hope you finish this!

Thanks guys! Found what I needed.

Thanks guys! I'm searching for that True Details product but I'm not having much luck. Do they have a website? Who is a good vendor for their products (if they are even still being manuifactured) Back to ze-Google!

Does anyone know of any good aftermarket parts for the Monogram A-10? I already have the Verlinden cockpit upgrade set already but I'm interested in learning more of what is available out there... My immediate need is for some PE to replace the damaged HUD support frame that was damaged on two of Monograms kits. Unfortunately, the Verlinden upgrade set omits this part. Can anyone point me to a solution for this part? Thanks! David

Very nice! The Heinkel He.111 is one of my favorite planes and you have done it justice.

Beautiful! Perfect level of weathering. Not overdone. Just Prrrrrrfect! It now resides on my hard drive in my "Inspiration" folder! David

Very nice indeed. Great weathering and finish...and a perfect sheen. Was that Polly Scale Flat? Well done!

Thanks for the link zeus60! David
