Thanks Carl I am thinking may be one of my better builds of late if I don't muck up the weathering.What weathering I have already done accomplished what I wanted/believed would happen it darken the sand.

This is it till this W/E fellas about as dirty as I am going to get her should finish this up by Sunday.Martin I know you have some pics of the bottom all oil as heck ??

[Martinnfb]

I would never…….. wait who put this here?

 

[PanzerWomble]

I'm loving the subtlety of that finish ! Worn ......but not battered ....dirty ..but that's not running the show here when you look at the model ..that air filter rocks as well . She's a good 'un

Looking mighty good and I'm not a heavy weathering guy, so keeping it light, is how I like 'em.

[KevinM]

Martin gone as far as I am on this one weathering the bottom came out like crap no show but the area around the nose came out have way decent.This one is finished  and in the books need to straighten out the antenna before it sets to.

Looking mighty good and the finish and light upper weathering looks mighty good to me. 🏆

[BlrwestSiR]

Looks very nice there Kevin. 

How do you get the antenna connection mid- way down the long one? I've never figured that bit out.

I met to answer sooner Carl when using the flex line SG attaches very quickly if fresh.The idea is to not pull it to taught(I Did old glue) on the vertical let dry real well.I then pull the left over of the vertical pretty taught and clip with some thin tiny scissors it leaves no nub.I do the same on ship rigging also.

It's a simple scheme for sure but when John went the two tone scheme I decided to go back to my original choice of the single tone the Black Chevrons always kinda had a hook in me.
