The Scale Model Podcast - EP 106 - The Return of Model Airplane Maker

Geoff - focused on finishing the construction of a new guest room/sewing room for my wife, so not much time on the bench. Picking away at finishing the Bachem Natter. Also getting back to the CL52!

Chris - Recently finished the massive Revell SR-71. No regrets! Aside from some tedious filling and re-scribing around the nacelles, it went well. My review is at: http://modelairplanemaker.com/2022/11/10/1-48-revell-sr-71-blackbird-americas-middle-finger/ and my painting video is at https://youtu.be/zNuUQ2o0vfg. Next up is the Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair for the Group Build starting December 1:

Terry - Finishing up the Dora Wings P-43 and Cavalier Mustang. Now I’m just waiting on a brass pitot for the Mustang, then they’re done! The Christmas birds are essentially done, I did start building the Bandai V-33 Stork mech carrier to do a quick paint job but have been convinced to do a very challenging paint scheme, for which I’ve cut some vinyl masks. So…holiday time maybe? Pacific group build choices are two Mitshubishi C5M2 “Babs” aircraft.

The sewer line was repaired, the leaking shower was repaired, which needs to be replaced, and solar panels were installed, Kiowa departed and missed. ☹️
