Hi there,
here is a sneak preview of what I'm currently doing...
Still a long way to go. Brushing layer by layer and using a ton of tape.

LOL CAG's a bit near-sighted...just won't admit it. :Nerd: Best, LB

[Bobaroo]

Nice one there LB !!

Is anyone 3dP-ing those Chin Scoops for this Jet yet ?? Even if the tips (That front 1/4") were done that would give a great look up there.

[Bobaroo]

Just finished my Motion F4... but re-painted it in Blue Angel colors (Skip Umsted #1). Was fun to do, and Callie Graphics provided the extra help. Looking forward to spring!

Gorgeous Blue No.1 there Tony... Any chance we can get a Peek at the Belly Graphics on there ?? Cheers

What I like most is the moment of unwrapping after painting. The moment of truth.

Bobaroo, with you on the fin caps. I have cracked most of my foamy model fins (F-4, A-4, A-6, Mig, Avanti etc) getting them in/out of vehicle. After a while they look tatty. A replaceable plastic fin cap would be fantastic. Have carved a couple from balsa as replacements but never quite look right.

[Bobaroo]

Mine...

Outstanding ! Good looking Graphics Man !! I'm going to have to do one. Love the F-4 in Blue !! Bet that thing is goosebump gorgeous on the FlyBy !! Thx

Yupper,.. A nice 3DP FinCap would be a great add-on. Durable on the rare occasions when she ends up on her back as well !! Hahahaha

[Bobaroo]

Hey,.. Nice work there Wobi Is this YourJet ??

Shutting doors and leaving.

So last week my garage caved in during the -50 cold snap we had for a week in WI. I lost all my foam birds except the 1600 spit that I had in the house. A plane which I hate by the way. Insurance adjuster came today and of course none of the dozen birds I had are covered. So I have nothing to fly except this plane which I hate for more than one reason. Coupled with the fact that I was hoping to get into the new corsair and I see the price just went up 60 bucks. I am shutting it down. I have been priced out of the hobby and cant afford to rebuild my stable at all. This happened to me in Pinball to when all the yuppies came. The last batch of pilots are at my house for Todd and Dave and then thats that. I cant afford this anymore and its just to depressing to stick around. I am just defeated and crushed not only by the loss of my stuff but by the fact that I can no longer pay 460 bucks for a plane anymore. I have been with Motion almost since the beginning but I gotta call it.

Later folks!
