    I started filling in the fuselage seams, and now I'm waiting for them to dry. Nothing much to post about this progress, sort of like watching grass grow... 😉

    So I decided to knock out another Korean War model that has been sitting on my "shelf of doom" for many years. It's a M-26 Pershing tank, like one of the types my Dad served in while he was in Korea during the War.

    Please check back for more updates. I'll be posting them one I make some progress with the filler. The wings will be next on the F-80.

    As always, comments are encouraged.

    Another great model started, Louis @lgardner
    Even more interesting because your dad served in one of those.
