Gary, Tom, Stuart, and Lyle, thank for your kind words. Just a tad bit more to get done before I get those masks off Lyle.
The past couple of days I was working on the panel line wash and getting those sealed up
Now I have just a bite more detail painting to do, the last small bits glued on, the masks removed, and adding an antenna wire.
Tomorrow…

Somehow I managed to lose track of this one after you painted the engine.
Decals and panel wash really accent those yellow wings well, looks great!!

Tom, Greg, and John, thanks for your encouragement and patience.
As of this afternoon, I am calling this one finished. This morning I did the last bits of painting, took of the masks, and added the last little bits.
Tomorrow I’ll get a proper set of multi angle photos posted up…

Very nice! Canopy turned out beautifully. Well done - makes me want to do that pre-war wildcat eduard released
