chukw Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Here we go again- I had fully intended to take on this kit two whole builds, a relocation and an an open-heart procedure ago. It sure is satisfying tick off another 'good intention'. As with all my builds I'm keeping it simple- NOT! C'mon- take a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chukw Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Thanks, Guys- glad you like it! It's an interesting project- info is thin on the ground, as it was new technology and somewhat hush-hush. Any info on the JOV 1-A would be greatly appreciated, especially the gun sight and gun camera mounted on the IP cowling- thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HOLMES Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hello Chukw, Another Fantastic build from you to follow . Love your exquisite Artwork as much as your SUPERB build. Amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Thanks, AFM and Holmes! I'm making up a lot of these techniques on the fly- sometimes they work, sometimes you have to try a different way- and sometimes you have to reorder a PE set. My next post will have tales of such events, and will happen soon. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cruiz Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Just in time, I needed a dose of your Master Class; real impressive work Chukw. How are you doing? I hope your health is improving. Thanks for sharing, and take care. Regards Carlos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Nice job on the mohawk Chukw. Love your scratchbuilding that you've done so far! What da heck is furnace tape??? Tim Edited April 26, 2021 by hawkwrench Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Thanks, Carlos! I'm doing better every day- except for the fact that I got my 2nd Pfizer shot yesterday and today I'm a bit achy. That should disappear tomorrow- it's good to be fully vaccinated! Thanks, Tim! Someone told me never to Google that term, but i didn't find anything risque, darn it. It's what it's called on the label at Home depot- a heavy, self-adhesive aluminum tap for used HVAC duct sealing and so forth. It's like a big roll of metal duct tape, cheap and one roll will last a modeling lifetime. Try some- you'll like it. Edited May 4, 2021 by chukw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chukw Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Thanks, Skydivin! HI, everyone! Here at long last is Episode 4. I've been taking things slow for a variety of reasons, like family, health, work, home and garden, and friends. Modeling has taken a back seat for a couple of reasons- mostly because my mojo has gone into a slump. A big part of that was the loss of my good friend and modelling pal Matt Odom, who recently lost his 13 year battle with brain cancer. He was a brilliant 1/32 scale enthusiast, a Canadian cop and loving family man. We communicated mainly by text and sometimes, phone. It was just too much to sit at the bench and not be able to text him a pic of my newest dumb idea, or answer a question from his ever-inquisitive mind. Add in the slow recovery from my heart surgery- which included a measure of brain fog (or 'pump brain') from the heart/lung machine. To top it all off I'm developing cataracts, even as my eyesight begin to regress with age. The latter is curable, the former demand patience and perseverance. I'm not giving up- no way! I'm just taking my time, and I hope to continue to keep sharing the joys and tribulations of this hobby with all my fellows around the globe- cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
