WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

Geoff - building the ancient 1/48 Lindbergh Snark and equipment kit. Pretty good molding given the age, but raised panel lines and rivets for sure - neither of which bothers me really. Lots of reinforcement is required internally though, as it’s quite large and the joins are not large. Putty too, but not a crazy amount. It’s my transition kit to non-aircraft models, as it has the launcher and tractor as well!

Stuart - Work continues on the YF-21 Good fit as is to be expected from this Hasegawa release. Lots of priming and painting of sub-assemblies lie ahead.

Terry - did not paint the Regult, it got a bit cold in my garage shop. I did do some work on the Halberd Models XP-47H, it’s as easy as expected from a Tamiya conversion.
