Peterpools Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 John Holy smokes that seems like a lot of weight considering the kit only calls for 40 grams. My money is riding on you as always. 1

JohnB Posted March 10, 2023 Author Posted March 10, 2023 By the way guys, this is my 3rd ICM A/B-26 and I haven't had any problems with too much weight in the nose. 🤪 1
Peterpools Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 John Just had a feeling you had something up your sleeve 😉 1

JohnB Posted March 10, 2023 Author Posted March 10, 2023 Coming right along. The wings aren't attached yet but just set in place. Great fit. Engines and nacelles are next. 9

KevinM Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 John I am really impressed with what few kits of ICM I have built the fit is just outstanding!! 2

JohnB Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 Most of the painting is done! Still have some touch up to do. I decided to use Xtracolor on this one. As the paint was still very tacky I decided to leave the model on the painting base for this photo. 9 1
Peterpools Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 John Awesome paint work and the cammo looks so good. 1

BlrwestSiR Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 John, wow. I look away and you're done! Well, the camo is done. Great work as always. 2
