    Thanks for the invitation to this inspiring group, George. I have so many things started these days that my first contribution will be one from the shelf of doom. As the pictures show, I got pretty far on the build 3 years ago but put it away for a variety of reasons. Here goes again.

    The pics will just give you an idea that I am well on my way with the interior. I am therefore hopeful about contributing to this group. However, it will be a bit slow getting back into this as a project right away. I should have a bit more time by April to work on hobby stuff, including a couple of F-16s in 1/32, my SM-79 and several armour kits, amongst other projects. I haven't had time to post any hobby work since Christmas, or even build much, having started a new job.

    Thanks again for getting this started. I may add another F-86 in 1/32 below; I have everything to do that as well. My preferred scale in 32nd, but it will be nice to finally finish the 48th kit as an inspiration and further metalizer experiment.

    Welcome to the group, Colin (@coling). The work you have done on the cockpit really raises the level of the interior. We started out with 3 Academy Sabres, so it is good to see something else. The marking for The Huff are very cool. We are in the same boat as far as trying to get a number of models done. I am constantly shuffling the build list.
