[Jeeves]

Working on this one for the SMA Spring Contest...don't have a chance with all the aircraft builds...but whatever! Here is the kit:

I'll be doing it in a Tuskegee scheme...but for now-- interior shots-- using Eduard's color PE:

The main panel:

And with things ready to be closed up...

More to come soon...

Thanks guys! And for the record...this was on the back of an old cayenne pepper can:

Firecracker Burgers

Mix 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 Tbl parsley flakes, 1/2 tsp each of garlic salt and ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp ground red cayenne pepper. Shape into 4 burgers and grill to your liking

[KiwiGunner]

Nice one Jeeves, love that 'pit!! - Burgers sound mighty fine too :cheer:
What did you use for the NMF?

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks KiwiGunner!

I used Alclad II Aluminum for the fuselage and Polished Aluminum for the wings...

 

[jknaus]

Looks great Silly question, but should there be a tail code?
James

 

[moon puppy]

Bamn! Well done Mike

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks guys!

James-- the red tails did not have tail codes...the numbers on the fuselages served that purpose I believe....

 

[Sharkmouth]

Speaking of spicy (burger recipes) whose decals are those?

Regards,

 

[Jeeves]

The now defunct Warbird Decals. Shame too...they were awesome...I ordered one set from their eBay store and they sent me both of their sets...
