It was one of those days where I did absolutely nothing ! Didn't go for my daily walk weather was crap . Didn't feel like doing my workout either nor did I do my online course .... had more coffee then I should have , but being wired up on caff it was a perfect day for some long over do bench time . So putting on some Yello on the stereo and turning up the volume -enjoying the a beautiful peaceful day !

First round on getting the rear wells install in their booms is finished , however ; more PE still to come for round two ! So far the over all fit of the booms aren't bad . The nose where the rads are will acquire sanding/filling but nothing which would be classified as being a state horrible .

Reads like many of the days that I am experiencing at the moment Alexis.

I have only just found this - I had been wondering where you had got to - been looking for a pusher, not an off-topic build. I have read through your thread and looking at some of your photos I have decided that this kit would be too difficult for me to build! You seem to be making a very good job of it though - but those clamps scare me!!!

Ha - Yello takes me back! I remember as a teen the excitement of going to the alternative record store hoping for new imports from Yello - solid pleasure, Claro que si or ‘you gotta say yes to another excess’ days....sigh.... getting old! Enjoy!

Nice, the PE gives the wells quite a different look.

Stephen ,

I'm still here and still working on the Pfalz D.7/8 in the resin section . With the scratch builds you do this kit wouldn't be any trouble for you . so don't let the clamps scare you .

Well Fokker , I do have all there albums including their new release for 2020 title Point , and it rocks !

Thanks Prze

Some details are hidden already? We know that from cockpits.
If you had fun build those, then all is ok

Cheers,
Frank

I do enjoy them very much , even if most of the detail is hidden .

The extra detailing is the best part, nice additions Alexis! I appreciate the coffee angle but, being a C&W Fan stop short on the music!

Cheers,
Lance

Just stumbled onto this one - very nice work Alexis! The P-38 is such a cool looking beast.

Thanks Lance and Gary , nice to have you both drop by with positive support !

Lance , don't think you will care for what I listen mostly . 90% is German covering soft rock to New German Hardiness and everything else in between , but not beats classical music
