Looks flawless to me. I'm glad you listened to your wife 😅 -co

That cockpit turned out nice. Those finemolds seatbelts really dressed up the seats. -co

Whoa. This is excellent work all around. The cockpit is real nice. The metal finish is gorgeous! Dealing with decal carrier film is my biggest hesitation with doing bare metal schemes but there is not a hint of it anywhere. Absolutely flawless decal work. How did you manage that? -co

Nice job Kurt. They both turned out really well. The concluding write up was very informative. -co

Thanks a lot Bill!

That metal finish is FANTASTIC! Could you provide some information on how it was achieved? -co

That detail is dialed up to 11! Awesome work. -co

Hi folks, I managed to get the second one done. She's weathered pretty much the same way as the previous completion. The flight stand is from Hasegawa. -co

That's nice, neat work. Weathering is just right and your pictures show off your work really well. -co

That turned out really nice! -co

What a huge project! 4 at once 😵 Fantastic, quality work too. I'm glad you fixed the canopy issue. I totally empathise with not being able to unsee certain things. -co

That's very nice of you to say. Thanks for dropping in! -co
