Almost there
Sorry for the quality of a couple of these, but figured I would do a quick update. Almost finished, she is a BIG plane and the landing gear doors almost did me in, but as I said almost there!

Marking the beast!
Man third times a charm tried posting this twice before! Ok so I started decaling my COD. The first challenge was to get the walkway decals to fit since I had re-scribed the aft escape hatches in the correct positions. I cut the walkway [...]
Paint, and more paint and some brass…….
Finally am painting the COD, the thing is huge! Not too much smaller than a 1/48 B-17, bigger than a 1/48 B-25 for sure! The last picture is how I handled the heat shields on the inboard flaps. Kinetic has some raised texture I sanded [...]
Almost ready for paint!
So this will probably be the last pre-paint COD post, still some bits-n-bobs to add, but I am closing in. I added notes to the pictures so I won't describe them all here!

Just a couple of Christmas pictures from my Christmases at sea, I didn't take either one. First is Santa moving some JDAMs and then an S-3B from my squadron at the time, VS 38. Both were taken in the Persian Gulf December 2002 during the [...]
Nosing around, and a tale of two engines….
Boba is almost ready to see "The Force Awakens", but in the meantime he has a couple pints of "Bad Santa" from my home state of Oregon (Go Ducks, beat TCU in the Alamo Bowl!) and is trying to sort out Kinetics poor nose [...]
