Look away now all you Vegetarians.

This is apparently what Chefs that teach healthy eating have for dinner

Image

That would be a battered cod plus a deep fried burger & curry sauce look like :mrgreen:

I went for the standard fish & chips.

Image

I need a cider now.

Plastic pounding continues. The underside of the Mustang has had a coat of Humbrol 76 which is drying & Cosmic has got some primer on the Be-4. Further than I thought he would get.

Finnski was going to join us tonight but has just rang to cancel. He is knackered having spent all day working on a 1:1 scale armoured train! 8-)

Sorry for the delay in posting. We are watching movies & having a little drink.

I got another grey coat on the underside of the P-51

Image

Also painted the spinner & under cart.
First coat of Klear on too. I think a second coat will be needed.

Image

Cosmic has his second wind now and is painting the underside blue.

Its all going too well. :???:
Must be time for a Parmo.

I'm glad I'm not working on that Be 4 effort, jeez Cosmic has his work cut out with that and is doing a good job of making it have it. The P-51 looks like a luxury kit in comparison and is coming on very well. The food is a cracker. Especially the deep fried burger/fish/curry sauce concoction. So good to see proper grub being eaten. No wuss stuff for you boys in the Further Up North Than Me I'm pleased to see :grin:

And it's parmo o'clock eh? I'm sure it won't be a ladeez portion OT :grin:

What interesting food choices. Eating food like that just has to take precedence over model building, even in a Blitz!

Sorry guys no Parmo yet, just another coat of Klear on the 'tang.

The Be-4 has a blue bottom (add your own jokes here... :ha: )

Image

I got the Bazookoids assembled:

Image

Shiny, shiny. :bounce:

Image

Now I, am off for a Parmo. :lol:

Great stuff, there should be no silvering with the decals on that 'stang - it's shiny enough to shave in! Sorry but I can't think of any bottom jokes suitable for a family orientated forum. More beer cans in shot than models - that's proper blitzing :grin:

Have a great Parmo - don't forget the photo of course :grin:

The Mustang looks great and I admire Cosmic's patience with that Be-4. I'd have taken one look at it and put it back in the box. :sick:

The Parmo has landed:

Image

I think we are calling it a night as far as modelling goes. Cosmic is asleep again, he has been awake for a few hours now. :roll:

The Be-4 is wearing a camo scheme.

Image

So good night all. Will be back at it in a few hours.

Not exactly bright eyed & bushy tailed but we are back at it.

Image

I am on to the decaling. I was a little worried about these yellow stripes folding over the tail edges but so far so good.

Breakfast is served

Time for a cuppa. :)

I reckon we should do a calorie-counting exercise on your food and drink intake for the 24 hours of your Blitz. How scary would that be?
That Be-4 is an odd beastie. Looks a bit like a 1:144 Catalina fuselage with a 1:72 Pe-5 front end as the wing.
At least the P-51 looks normal.
Keep it up guys!

The P-51 is probably the only thing that does currently look normal in the Blitzbau House Ian :ha:

Morning lads, good to see you up and at 'em. Good looking brekkie too, much better than my buttered toast!
