Roger Newsome Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I just put the finishing touches to this one this afternoon. The nav lights need a bit of attention, I only noticed after I'd taken the photos. The canopy is a personal triumph. This is the first time I've been happy with what has faced me when the masking was removed and all it took was a bit of patience. 😃 Thank you to everyone who commented and/or gave it a like during the build.

Toryu Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Looks great! Superb job with this old kit. The shading is very well done, just right for the hot & humid New Guinea climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fewr9fkr9595 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Not bad mate! One suggestion perhaps a scalpel through the tail stripe decals along the rudder hinge? Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that myself but my bottle went. 😂 I might have a stiff drink and go for it.... perhaps that's the wrong approach.... a stiff drink afterwards might be a better idea. 🥃😃 Roger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariado Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Stiff drink before or after? Hmmmm... Why not both?!! 😂 Very nice build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Another great model from you Roger, usual high standard. By the look of that bottle, looks like you had a stiff drink before, during and after...looks empty Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
