I know all of these kits will be immaculate when you are done, Cricket (@bikequeen). The problem with the cannon is that it has been around in its current form since the 60s, and maybe longer. The metal is really old school technology. It will build into a nice model, but it will take a lot of work with old school tools. The Ninja, on the other hand, along with all of the cool stuff, is really new technology. These will be like bookends, showing the old and new technology. Looking forward to both.

Thanks everyone, was going to get a jump on it today but life, as usual, got in the way. And no direct line to Santa I bought them myself 😉

That's some really beautiful progress, so far. @bikequeen

Excellent progress, my friend @bikequeen!

@johnb Thank you John. I am looking forward to the H&S airbrush having such great success yesterday :). The red and green was not planned 😉

Some good work there, Cricket @bikequeen, those AK paints are really good, I find you can even hand brush them on with good results

Anyone use Mr. Color paints? I have been loyal to Tamiya but there Chrome Silver just isn’t bright enough so I bought Mr Color #8 and it’s GREAT but I think it’s a lacquer….is that so? I dont like lacquer 🙂 and it’s really thick…but is bright silver. Anyone? 🙂

@gblair Thanks George! I figured it out from another modeler, Mr. Hobby is Acrylic and Mr. Color is Lacquer. I wanted it for screw/bolts heads etc etc. When it cones to spraying silver I love Tamiya Silver Leaf TS-30. It’s a great finish.

Yes Christmas was a quiet day thankfully of course it ws in the upper 50’s. Geeesh 🙂

Got some work done on the bike but not much….pics later. The PE parts will be here today. YAAAY! 🙂
