I have not been on in a while thanks to work life but was able to knock this out. A Friend gave me this Kit to build for a Show next Year. To say it was fun is woeful. Ill fitting Parts, sparse details and horrible Decals. The Flightdeck Markings are Decals and shatter when placed and no amount of setting Solution helped. I had to strip the Flightdeck and paint the Markings with Masking Tape. She is finally done sans rigging. Any C and C's are welcome .....Cheers Mark

Hi Mark, you have made a "silk purse out of a sow's ear". Looks absolutely gorgeous and your spray and mask work on the flight deck looks really sexy
Go the whole hog and add a nameplate to the base and some EZ-line rigging and I am convinced you will have a winner Top work mate !
cheers,
Julian
