    My wife and I had already cancelled our plans to attend this year out of concerns for the pandemic.  A moot point now, as we both have Covid-19 and are quarantined until at least early July.

    Your case appears to be the vast majority of those that have it. Case Numbers HAVE risen in Texas; but, just yesterday news reported that hospitals are discharging patients faster due to mild or no symptoms and Critical Care facilities patients are down from earlier highs.  (Hospitals lost a BOAT Load early on due to halt of test and elective surgeries and may just be trying to recover a bit???)

    Anyway, I plan to go and will take precautions, like wearing mask indoors and washing my hand frequently!!  AND, I won't be French kissing anyone either!!  LOL!!!  I've knuckle bumped for 15 yrs or longer and haven't even had a cold in that time!!  Hands are the easiest way to spread germs!!

    C U Thar!!

    Beautiful build.

     

     one a side note, what was the general cost for the custom decals? I have a few projects in the stash that will need some custom work.

    What a beauty!!!

    Thanks. 

    This is how I remember these birds in 1958 when I was about 14 yrs old.  I recall the Anti-Glare Green as being an obvious Green color, not OD.  Yes, I was a modeler even then.  Training aircraft were well maintained.

    What COVID?  Thought it was gone since the media stopped talking about it.

    AKA 'Scamdemic'!! 1 to two weeks we'll know. Either there will be a Boat Load of sick and dying demonstrators, or we've been had by WHO and CDC, or both!!  I pick the later!!

  7. Planning to build the 48th Memphis Belle, soon, and started looking for canopy mask. Ha!!  None that I can find!!  Looked at Eduard, Montex and EZ Mask.  Plenty for the G Model; but, none for the Foxtrot Model!!  Should be able to use some of the G mask, ....... I hope.  Otherwise, back to the 'old fashion' way.

    Know of any, all y'all??

    What seems to be the problems? Dai 

    On my build, the nose cone was undersized compared to the fuselage.  During dry fitting, I noticed that step present, so during assembly, used a sanding stick to ensure no plastic bits were left to keep the major two-piece fuselage from fitting snug together!! Nothing is worst than a prominent part with a step!!  Did manage to sand and file down the fuselage so that step isn't, hopefully, too visible.  About ready to shoot final coat of NMF, so we'll see.

  9. I have two plastic files,  one for US and one All others.  Inside those plastic files, I have manila folders marked with Nation/Service and era on each.  Then file decals, in Mfgrs original sleeve, accordingly.  BTW, I keep those files inside my climate controlled home.  I have some VERY old decal sheets and they like new.
