Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
Hate that it came to this but glad you found a solution you are happy with
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Happy can mean so many things. But, yes I can move along. Thanks for the support.

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
I love the choice that you made here Lyle and I would've done the same. Internal details can be overrated on a model. Especially if those details are going to be viewed through clear parts marred by scratches and cracks. You took a big distraction out of play and I think your model will look much better for it.

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
Okay, dummy move time....I forgot to put the piece inside the fuselage halves for the tailwheel. So, out came the razor saw.
now the clean up
And, the vertical stab did not match up in the front by a good 1/32 or more. So......

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
Lyle, I commend you on exercising such persistence and perseverance on this difficult kit. Having built on one of these in the past, I can sympathize with what you are going through. You've made some great decisions and adapted well to the challenges this has given you. You got this man, I especially commend you for your brilliant way you added the tail wheel well to the rear fuselage. I made the same mistake, but didn't do that so my fix was longer and harder. Way to go!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
