Happy Holidays to everyone. Hope it's a great day.

Got the main decals on. The decals are from Fantasy Printshop and, although a little reluctant to leave the backing paper, settle down nicely with some Microsol. Hardest part was trimming around the wheel wells (and remembering to keep the trimmed bits for the doors)! There aren't many stencils, so hopefully get them all done in one sitting.

So sorry to hear that Carl. Hope the boys aren't too upset. Our last cat made it to 19 and the longer they live the closer you know it's getting but it's never any easier. At least she went naturally.

Really nice job on the Hawaiian shirt Hubert. Zoomed the photo up just to get the full appreciation.

Looks like a nice kit. Only used their soft resin wheels before which are very nice.

Yours truly has everything crossed that this might be under the Xmas tree this year! Unless my hints have been just too subtle.... 😆

Looks like he's giving the crane a telling off!

Got some detail added to the main wheel wells and painted up. The wells are painted interior green as recommended but I think now they might have been better slightly darker but it's too late now. The detail is based on the few photos I've been able to find online - nowhere near exact but representative of what was there. Hopefully after some weathering everything should blend together okay. Also got the tailpipe painted in Vallejo exhaust manifold which is the closest I can get to the pictures. So, it's a gloss coat next then on with decals and weathering.

Really nice build of a very unusual plane. Not one I was really aware of but certainly should stand out in the display.

I'm in please Ernie. I'll donate a Tamiya 1/48 F4B for those in the UK or EU where postage, etc isn't prohibitive. For those elsewhere, I'll substitute a gift card to the shop of their choice to the value of £75 or equivalent in the local currency. Gus

Looks great Hubert. Can't wait to see it on the base.

Similar, I'll go for a gift card for the recipient's favoured store.

Looks like some sort of mutant cocoon but the detail revealed is mighty impressive.

Great service and nice looking result.

That's looking really good Jeroen.
