Looks like it belongs in a museum! :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

Thanks Rich, instructions do call this out. Will have it correct shortly. Everything is dry fitted just now. I want to get the seat and sidewalls painted and weathered up before I commit all the sub assemblies.

Here, happy? There's a lot of work that can be done in the cockpit. Including rigging! And you thought because you're in a more modern aircraft you don't have rigging? BTW, anyone else notice that the rudder peddles are deflected? The way they are molded the rudder should be cocked over to the...

Looks great, Do you always paint upper and lower hulls separately?

The Betty profile was throwing me.

Less is more especially in this size. Press on! :soldier

PT boat base?

AlcladII Aqua Clear Gloss and yes. Already done. :pilot

Looks like you have a thing for Mig21s. What's that twin tail dragger up in the corner?

Thanks guys, I got to gloss up the dial faces and that little control quadrant to the left needs some attention. Thanks James, I got AlcladII Duraluminum...I think. Hot linking to the image, how's that color for you Paddy?

The call out in the instructions show that just the area the pilot was in was interior green, fore and aft is aluminum. There's a lot of other options suggested in the instructions. Folks at LSP discussed it

Unsure just yet. I got some more detail on the IP and the frame. I tried the Mission Models flat clear again, glossy again. Used the Alclad Aqua flat and it flatted right out. @jknaus I see the aluminum call out, what aluminum would you suggest? Polish, dull or the RAF high speed flavor?

You mean the ones on bases? You are far too kind, I've never really built a diorama. The Lulubelle display is about as close as I've gotten to one and I only just completed it. I do have one I'm working on. But thank you.
