pabbi Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 You must be a really nice person!!! I'd like to think I'm actually a nice person.... in real life this is a bulky looking airplane doesn't look anything like a cat ? more like a Hell-elephant it went easily together only needed a little putty on small areas of the wing roots, now almost ready for painting....

Vulcanicity Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 That's a super build, and looks great on the carrier deck! Curious about the wierd black lettering on the nose...is it a rudimentary call sign number, or noseart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
