More than 245,000 views for the month of February. Looks like anther great year for Solid Model Memories. I wish Ray a quick recovery.
We have 6 new models so far for 2021. I hope to see another bumper crop of interesting subjects.

#1
Sitting in a motel 200 km from home awaiting my wife's medical appt early Mon morning. Since we are anticipating a snow storm on Sun, we decided to come early. We have another appt scheduled for Thu so this week's output will be small.

On the bench
1/32 Cessna 182 Skylane no progress
1/32 Beaver final primer coat before painting. I still doesn't have the windscreen right.
1/48 Spitfires each have the main wing attached and filler initial coat on the large filet. The tail feathers are notched and will be glued once I have the filets to my satisfaction.
1/72 Buffalo has the yello0w wings and initial silver coat on the remaining airframe.
1/72 Northrop BT-1 all parts block shape with fuselage top being roughly contour carved.
1/72 Lockheed Electra has one fuselage and one wing block carved.
1/144 Stratoliner no progress beyond templates done.

I have a 1/72 Vindicator waiting in the wings. Drawings are download but no other progress, hence I did not mention it in my update. I will more than likely go with the pre-war yellow wings.

The vindicator will be yellow wings .

G'day Y'all.....from a bi-lingual Canadian!

I'm still working on my Mosquito, engines were challenging but I think they're sorted out.
In the wings are the Dynavert and a Dakota. At present I think that may be the end for me. When I got CIDP I gave away or sold most of my tools, moved to a smaller home with wheelchair doors. I'm in remission  now, but at 86, the hands have arthritis, fine motor skills are lacking. With these three I guess I'll be active for a year. It sure has been a challenging hobby, but fun and interesting.
