Talk ad out making a career out of it. Finish it already it looks great. Gary S.

Looks great!! Gary S.

After piecing 5 sections of decals, the upper lozenge is on. Some minor t ouch up is needed as if that is a surprise. The instructions say to use lozenge on the excel wing. I've seen others who painted it the same colors as the wing. Gary S.

Remarkable work!! Gary S.

The upper cowling, struts and sides of excel wing are painted dark green. Started the application of the lozenge decals. I want to let it set before attempting the side decals. Gary S.

Up periscope!! Gary S.

Go for it!! The model is ready for paint and then painted for the application of the decals. Some touch up is needed. Gary S.

Managed to get the struts glued in place. The wing is not glued on yet. Gary S.

Time to get the Dremel tool out.

Yea, he's a big guy and had to lose a lot of weight too. Decided to attach the struts before painting in order to get a good glue bond. Same for the tail. I'm planning to paint it all white before applying the decals. Gary S.

Nice detail. Gary S.

The wing, axel wing and fuselage with pilot undoing the seat belts are assembled. With the German markings that I'll be using, this model will be an E V, not a D VIII. Gary S.

Mabey she should have kept her teeth. Might have had a better outcome? BTW, I have some flight time in "Mississippi Queen". Her crew chief was James Hoag, her pilot was W/O Randy Jones, and I painted the name. Gary S.

I have no idea. 567 was a replacement ship when 827 was shot down. 567 was a rebuild after being shot down from the 17th air cav. Gary S.

Our Cobra did not have the rotor cap. Never saw one taillights were the bumps on the tail boom. No nose light it was underneath. That's a fin not a rudder and it was concave. Tail rotor position depends on time frame, ours were modified at Vung Tao. Don't forget the blue tint canopy. Gary S.

Most excellent!! Hard to tell if it's real or Memorex. Gary S.

May not be a movie star, but a lot prettier. Finally got the pilot to sort of fit after losing a lot of weight, new arms and reposition of legs. I think it would have been better to have the photo etch cockpit as separate pieces. The wood is placed onto the inside walls. Gary S.

Sometimes I think that some companies over due photo etch products and this kit is no exception. It can be a real PIA. Started painting the wood components. Still needs clear yellow. Pieces of scrap lozenge decal was used on the interior. I'm so unimpressed with this cockpit, that I might this...

Great stuff!! Something else my dad drove and often talked about during WWII. Gary S.
