Today at Ollie's I bought a LINDBERG F-86D SABER JET 1/48 MODEL KIT for $4.99. I have 2 other models to do and the one I'm working on before I get to it. I finished gluing the shuttle. I have some touch up painting to do then I add the decals.

Just did a few things on the shuttle model. I cut out something which I probably should have cut out at the beginning before gluing and I did some very fine painting with a tooth pick. Both turned out very well. Might try an get a spray can of clear gloss coating and some putty today. You need to put a clear gloss coating on before applying decals and putty is to fill gaps.

I seen in a YouTube tutorial this morning on beginning model building that said that normally people trash about a dozen of their first models just learning how to do it. This one will not be perfect but I haven't screwed it up enough to trash it yet.

The lesson that I learned from my model this morning is that your don't know what you can do till you try. I didn't know if I would be able to cut that slit out or ruin it trying but I tried and it worked out OK.

That's great. I'm not surprised though, after seeing your drawings.

I got some more stuff for building models today. They didn't have putty so I'll have to order some.

I just painted some more on the shuttle. Still have a little more painting to do. They sell special very narrow masking tape for model builders. There are a few places on the shuttle where I might be able to use it. I might get some today and try it.

I got Testors masking tape today. Looking at what I got and what I paid the two don't much up.

Yeah, a lot of this hobby stuff can be kind of expensive.
