Decisions, decisions, decisions… How to go about it now? When frustration settles in, you hit the pause button...and take a deep breath. The painted masking tape didn’t not work out and I know why. I made little progress since pausing… Continue reading →

Post 318 – Monogram 1/48 scale PBY-5 Catalina – Plastic Surgery July 25, 2021

Post 315 – Monogram 1/48 scale PBY-5 Catalina – Get Over It! July 21, 2021
I know what went wrong. The left engine was not fully inserted into the engine cowling causing a missed alignment which led to this. So I will have to get over it and it will stay that way forever. I… Continue reading →
