I have had three deals in the last three months with bluedot25 (Tom) and he has been very gracious and magnanimous. You are a true fine American, sir! Kindest regards, Dutch

Finally, I had some time to do some work. I added some plasticard shims, cut at slight angles , to the rear fuselage to make up the difference in thickness I needed for the new E-767 tail to fit properly. I achieved a much better fit, not 100% or even 95%, but satisfactory. I also had to cut off the block from the tail in order to get a better fit. When things were dry enough, I super glued the tail on. It set pretty quick. I hoped I lined everything up alright. I will do some puttying tomorrow and then filing and sanding later this next week. Lastly, I glued the radome together. See photos 34-38.

Completely unsolicited announcement: ( I am not affiliated with SprueBrothers) SprueBrothers is having a 20% sale on Eduard BIG sets, so i just ordered EDUBIG72144 B-52G Modelcollect part 1 for $46, minus $9.20 with $9.00 shipping. So, essentially free shipping. This set includes the masks, cockpit placards, and engine detail, which is all i need. EDUBIG72145 B-52G Modelcollect Part 2 goes for $152 and includes bomb bay, wheel wells, and flaps. So 20% off equals $121.60, almost $30 off. Both together go for $198 regularly, but on sale for $158.40 plus shipping. This is a great opportunity. R/ Dutch

I built several, and upped my detailing skills with each build. Yes, I agree, a "classic" kit!

I need about (8) ATP 1/144 AD7867 Narrow Body Boeing 707 / 727 / 737 windshield decals. I will purchase the whole sheet or just the windshields. PM me please. R/ Dutch

Now that's a beauty!

Okay, you're right. This thread is not on the Caracal forum, so maybe the baby seal just got clubbed, but didn't die. My apologies. I am in and out of so many forums, that I forgot where I was. Carry on! Back to C-133 discussion. (Kind of like the Modelcollect B-52H thread that got highjacked into a B-52G thread for much of the time.)

Great news.

Kursad, should we tell him?

Yes. I agree, but a baby seal died, nonetheless.

Yes, and i have both sheets in 1/72 scale. I say both, because one sheet is all the stencils, data markings and walkways, while the other sheet contains only unit makings. So you need both to build one model. And they are expensive. So, if Kursad can make a 1/144 all in one C-124 sheet, for a third of the price of just one Draw Dexal sheet, I am all for it! R/ Dutch P.S. [A baby seal just died because of your comment.]

Neil, The R-3350s look great! I see you have the four blade props for the DC-7 also in the drawing. Will those be included as well? And will the three blade props be included for the CL-28/CP-107 Argus? R/ Dutch

Yes, I will gladly wait. I can't build models as fast as you draw, print and release decals, so it's worth the wait. Besdies, the tax refund check should be in by then!

Kursad, I can lend you a Roden C-133 kit as well. PM me for details.

Tom. PM sent. R/ Dutch
