I agree with @johnb!
Nice progress!

Nice paintwork. Was the ‘50s Chrome Yellow different from the pre-war wing Chrome Yellow? I’ve used Tamiya spray bomb Camel Yellow for those. I have that Caracal sheet with the Barin Field plane on it. I’m going to take a hook from the spares box. Barin Field is still operational. It’s an outlying field for NAS Whiting Field over in FL. I pass by it once a week when I’m down here when I meet some friends for lunch in Elberta, AL.

I know the feeling, Tom (@tcinla). I had a Pontiac Solstice until a few years ago. My knees started giving me trouble getting out of the car, and it loses a lot of its cool factor when you have to put your hand on the ground to get out.

@eb801: I only sanded down the seats to make them thinner. No putty was used anywhere. It is "clunky" in terms of parts, but when they're together it becomes less so, somehow.

And it beats the daylights out of its 1/48 competition. 🙂

And now decaled.

As you can see, the model has met with the approval of the Supervising Producer, Roscoe, who decided it was time for further additions to the massive Roscoe File. So here's a couple others.

Roscoe will be 10 in August. We found him at age 10 days, abandoned in an empty flower pot in the back yard by his feral mom because he was the runt of the litter. SWMBO spent the next six weeks bottle feeding him every two hours. As a result of being raised by people, he is convinced he too is a Person, which he is. (all sentient beings are Persons at Le Chateau du Chat). He has never met a person he didn't like, which is why he is a total indoor cat, so he doesn't meet any of those who would change his opinion of the species. He was Kitten of the Day at Fix Nation. And yes, he is as smart as he looks. We also caught and domesticated his brother and two sisters, who decided they too would adopt us.

Looks great , Tom. Roscoe is very handsome. We’re cat lovers too.

Oh my, QC inspections!
Roscoe is mostly adorable!
The T-28 looks amazing, my friend @tcinla!

Navy paint schemes on trainers are hard to beat, Tom (@tcinla). Our supervisor is almost 20 years old, but luckily she mainly supervises my wife's quilting. She is a long-hair cat, and an all-encompassing mist of hair travels with her wherever she goes. I usually don't notice the stray cat hair until the paint is dry. :o)
