    i can't wait to see the end result. that looks awesome just in pieces. i'm heading out this weekend to hunt down a SU-27 to SU-34. we only really have 1 place to get bulk kits from but there are 1 or 2 shops here that do have a few on the shelves.

    have built a bit of a pile? i remember when i use to just do models, i had a pile that was massive. it took me along time to get through them and that pile was just the 1's i got for my birthday/xmas gifts.

    there is no model in this bloody town that i like. it's basically all 1/72 aircraft and army men but i did end up getting the last 1/350 tamiya king george V battleship. the toyworld owner has a buttload of new kits coming but he said they are on the slow boat over. now i just need to save up the $130 for the pontos set for it.

    Just practice. Get a feel for how thin the paint has to be. Experiment with different air pressures and distances.

    Finished the interior for my F430. Belts were a bit fiddly but I like how they turned out. Just need a few things for the exterior and it'll be the first one done for 2014.

    That's pretty slick.
    Going to add Leds for the lights?
