| I guess two lefts don't make a right. The kit directions should have you lay down the keels the glue the left side formers to them like you have in the picture, except I wouldn't put the stringers on till later. Then you remove the left half from your building board and glue on the other halves of the formers to other side of the left half. Then after that you add the side keels and stringers.
Check out the fuselage construction on cdwheatly's Hellcat build. You see him build the left side then the close of of the keels and formers all in position. |

| Answer: Unless I'm building two of the same bird, then I have two left fuselages, and, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to build a right side. HELP!! |

Question: What is wrong with this picture? |

| Barny, I'm looking for any kind of weapons that an AD Skyraider would be carrying. What have you got? |

| Hey Sweetwillie, What type of viet nam era 1/32 scale weapons are you wanting? |

| I've got the measurements and some good photos. They can make a fiberglass replica of it for about $350.00. Maybe someday, I can have it done.
You're right, after you buy a bass boat and trailer, alone is about 50 or60,000 dollars. I'll bet I've got 10,000 worth of tackle, I have tackle boxes full of lures. And we can fish here year round. It doesn't get as cold as it does at Fork. I was supposed to fish Lake Fork with a quide,about 10 years ago, but I got a blonde in my eye, and I missed a day of fishing, and I don't regret it a bit. |

| An old Mossback! I hope you had it mounted. We fish Lake Fork in East Texas for bass like this. My second hobby, but a bit more expensive than building models. |

| She's a Florida-Texas Strain Largemouth, I caught her on a Med. Heavy 6 ft Pflueger spinning rod, I was fishing in Hydrilla which is very heavy stuff. Ultra-light, which I like to use, would not have gotten her out of them. It died before I could teach it to sing. I have a singing cactus, though. |

| Nice lunker there. Was a member of B.A.S.S. in late seventies and early 80's. If that was hooked on ultra-light you're one lucky sob. |

| Does its mouth extend back beyond the eye??? large or small mouth? Can it sing songs like "Barney Bass? |

Just wanted to brag a bit, I caught this beauty at Lake Amistad while wade fishing. She was 11 1/2 lbs and 24 1/2 \" long with a girth of 20". It was a fight that I've relived a hundred times and counting. |

| Sounds like a plan to me. I'll try it next time. I'm also working on an F4B-4 that I'm going to paint yellow, white, red and silver. I'll be sure and try it, I'll let you know the results,Stay Tuned!!! |

| Thanks Barny, I've got a lot left to do, but I just take it one day at a time. I'm pleased with where I am, but I'll be really happy when I can build one like john O or JGood. |

This is the second model in 40+ years, I covered it three times before I was happy with it. I'm building it in VA-176 if I can find a 1/32 decal of the bumble bee with his stinger turning into a Lightning bolt. Any on got any ideas, Also, I'm looking for |

| When I was having trouble painting yellow over gray David Duckett suggested that I first mix the yellow with some white to make an opaque primer. Then cover that primer with your final color. |

| Wow! Thats a tough paint scheme to do. looks great. |
| sweetwillie, Image # 5693 | 08 Jan 08 21:55 |
I drew these feathers in with a paint Pen, I'll have to get a steadier hand, or use some sort of straightedge. The blue has about 6 coats of paint, and you can still see the white through it. I think that next time, i'll figure out how to cover it so I do |

I'll try again." The red is brushed on it's Rust-O-Leum Painters Touch Apple Red, it's acrylic and flows good when thinned with water, and clean ups a snap.The blue is Krylon's Gloss True Blue by Color Creations, it has some Rust-O-Leum Gloss Black acryli |

Whoops! I accicentally hit the space bar on that last pic. As I was saying, it has about 6 coats of Rust-O-Leum Gloss White enamel that was airbrushed on. |
| sweetwillie, Image # 5690 | 08 Jan 08 21:27 |
This is the first stick model that I had built in over 40 years, this is the third time that I've covered it and it has about 6 coats of |
