I’m a young 63 and retired at 61. Had a triple bypass at 55, took all the prescribed meds for a couple of years but nothing now. I do limit my physical labor as I do get worn out quite easily. I’ve been able to control my blood pressure with my diet and my dog walks me daily for a couple of miles. I too model for 1-3 hours in the morning, pretty good stress relief, that and not going to my former job.

Very nice looking Mustang!

Recently finished this fantastic kit, those that have built it will probably agree. Paint is Testors Extreme Lacquer Bronze, which is pretty close to the factory Bittersweet color. Tried to give it a day two look with the mufflers, add on speakers and slight rake. There are some amazing WIP 442’s coming up soon but I’m am happy with the results of this one, even with my Sharpie trim. “Snake sold me on the Sharpie trim”. Thanks for looking.

Very nice detailing on this! One of my favorite Camaro body styles.

What clear over tire lettering decals
shoopdog replied to Steve H's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I’ve always sanded my tread then applied a coat of Future, allow to dry a day and then apply decals. Wait another day and spray with either Testors Dull Coat but recently have used Mr. Hobby matte finish. However I do try never touch the tire especially when installing wheels to avoid any cracking. -
You have done one heck of a good job with this build. Looks fantastic! I just finished the same kit and was going o post pics of it but I’m going to hold off. Again you have done a superb job. I brush paint all my individual parts too, just seems much easier.

This is my recently finished Tamiya P38J finished with Tamiya AS-12 Bare Metal Silver and TS-13 Clear. When I saw this kit at my local Hobby shop I knew I had to have it. My mom’s name was Marge and the nose art shares a striking resemblance of her. It is now front and center of all my WWII aircraft. About a week before I finished it the wreckage of the actual aircraft was found in the jungles of New Guinea. Thanks for looking and hopefully enjoy.

Very well done. I’ll be bookmarking your build thread as I have one of these in my stash.
