    Wow, my first repaints sure did not look like this! Great work. I particularly like the way you did the engine and the border around the cockpit.

    I'm not a happy bunny though, I had the pane finished last night awaiting to have the decals put on this morning. We had an earth quake and something fell off a shelf and smashed it..... this is how she looks after some touch up paint and glued back together. Took me an hour to find one of the wind struts and couldn't find the cooling pipe to the over wing radiator

    Good grief James you certainly live life to the full in Japan. Glad things were no worse.
    You have patched it up very well.
    I'll never complain again when my cat sits on a model.

    I was slightly miffed and had to have a sit down with a GnT, I know it wasn't 11 o'clock but I felt the moment justified it.

    On a more serious note, after the big one in 2011 these little 3's and 4's on the scale pale in comparison.

    Many thanks, I have two more on the bench as we speak and I keep trying to sneak in a quick 10 - 15 minutes between the 's issued commands.

    Very nice aircraft everybody. Sorry about the mishap James. I grew up in Southern California and we had occasional earthquakes. I will never forget having just completed the "Red Baron" silly car in 1/24 scale, a gift from my uncle. I put it up on my display shelf and before it even had a chance to dry we had an earthquake, a 5 iirc, and off the shelf came the model smashing on my hardwood bedroom floor. Bits and parts went everywhere. Unfortunately it could not be recovered and I was a crushed 9 year old boy. Glad you could repair your aircraft.

    Any o'clock is G&T o'clock James. I think that was worthy of a G&t.
    I feel a need for one just thinking about it.

    I'm glad the airplane was the most serious casualty Jim. at least it was mostly repairable.

    I had a large dnd dragon mini take a header due to an earthquake back in the 80s. i was able to glue it back together but it never fit quite right so i never finished it. we called it the earhtquake my grandma started!!! being a jovial person she really bellylaughed when something struck her funnybone. that fateful day i told heard a joke id heard (unfortunately lost to time), she flopped back on the couch in one of her belly laughs AND THE GROUND BEGAN TO SHAKE!!!!!! brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "when you laugh the whole world laughs with you".

    Some more nice work James. I guess a plane is only safe up in the air during a quake.

    Living here in Iowa I have never experienced one.....However my son, after completing a couple of tours in the Middle East was stationed in Japan during the big earthquake.
