Been with T-Mobile for years and when they have a Tuesday give away that's actually a useful item I'll pick it up. This week it was a selfie light for the phone. Looked like it also could be used for close up pictures with the regular camera. The detail on the P-38 really pops using the light. Has 3 different settings and is even rechargeable.

Here's the light.

Used the light on the P-38

Finished a C-47 today and it came out really nice.

It's an Italeri C-47 Skytrain and is 1/72nd. It's a very basic model. The front windshield was the only part that didn't fit well. If you build it with the jump and cargo door closed I wouldn't bother with the interior because you can't see it. It has very good decals.

Came out well! I painted the dash and did some detail work.

I've been reluctant with my recent plane models to spray a clear finish on them. Cars are one thing but planes are pretty fiddly and delicate once finished to manipulate while spraying. Thanks to the people that make Micro Sol and Micro set and their finishing products both flat and clear I did 3 models in around 40 minutes. It's made to be brushed on and when your done you can't tell it was brushed. It's pretty thick so needs to be cut. Used a 50-50 mix of the finish and 91% alcohol. Worked excellent dries super fast and protects the models paint and brings out a little more detail.

Cool

I was looking at what to build next(DC-3) and noticed the the wings of a DC-3 and a Mosquito look very much alike except they face the opposite of each other.

Nice paint work !

Six coats of epoxy was applied and I think I sanded four of them off, lol...started with 180 and went to 220, 400, 600 wet sand paper.

I've been waiting for some supplies to finally arrive.

I want to give it another coat with the fairing filler mixed into the epoxy.

Its weight is where it should be at this stage in the build.

 

[Lucius Mojo]

Nice!

Instead of a V-8;I decided to use a straight 6 for the engine.
