Oh stop it! You are so tempting me to do a Jap bird, just so I can give it some with the salt. lol

Your doing a fantastic job. Keep it up!

Thanks Fellas really appreciate the compliments,c'mon Ian get the ole salt shaker out and have a go!

I got the prop blurs in the post ,they are pretty easy to work with. I lopped off the props with the razor saw and then notched the hubs to accept the blurs. Then a little ca glue and some paint and its ready to mount up

Those prop blurs look realy good i may have to get me some and the builds coming along nicely

That's another absolutely top job Trey,very well done. I love the outdoor shots,no danger of the sky falling on it .

Not a criticism but I'm not sure whether I'm convinced by the prop blurs or not. I think its a matter of opinion,some love'em,others are a bit more equivocal.

Cheers

Beautiful 5 star build Trey.

The salt technique is done really well.

Steve's right about the prop blur, I'm not sure too.

Thought though, is it because they are painted in a lighter shade, that they don't have the impact of others I've seen. I know this is the right colour for this type, but....

Keep inspiring us.

Yeah! Great build, Trey. I like the aerial shots!

 

[colin m]

Brilliant. I love the very well worn out finish. Pics in the sun are very good as well. ***** from me.
