    Lee,
    My word this is looking good, like the changes to the nose cone and struts , decals look the business and that colour !!!!! Is it anything like painting with white or does the pigment cover well ?

      Jakko. Thanks for stopping by I’m sure it will this has to my second prettiest Aircraft

      John. Thanks for the complement I use Acrylic paints I had no trouble. The nose cone made a big difference I agree. Going to put the landing gear on then going have to wait to order my aftermarket wheels and tires

          It’s been 6 months since I gave a update on this one I worked a little on it tonight.
          I added the wind screen and wheels I still have some touch up painting to do and add the exhaust and prop.The wheels I got from another kit

                  Lee, good to see you are finishing this one. I haven't built a double wing thingy since I was in high school. This one is the same vintage, takes me back to the good ole days. Christmas Cheers, Rick H.

                      That is looking very nice. 1:72 rigging, it's painful, I can understand not doing it.

                          Hi Lee
                          Missed this earlier but just had a catch up. Fine work and result is great - certainly not a model you can easily overlook.
