Thanks guys.

Imagine the bump if you completed training.

Beautiful work, a nice tribute to those who flew / died or fought against these weapons.

Very short career path with no possible step up

But you get to go out with a bang!

Wonder if all those virgins were available back then ??? :frantic

Fantastic job! If you hadn't told me, I'd have no idea that you had any problems with the paint!

Nice work, I have this kit and you've inspired me to dig it out of the stash. Especially like how you handled the undersides

Nice work, I have this kit and you've inspired me to dig it out of the stash.

Please do. The fit is so nice, it's an absolute pleasure to build.

Thanks again to all for the encouraging comments.

That looks great! I love how the skid plate on the bottom turned out!

Thanks guys.

I'm calling this one done.

It was tough to get shots of it, but here we go (I broke off one wing support during the photo session, it'll be regaled today).

The underside with some dirt. I'd imagine these got roughed up being sled landing with novice pilots.

I scratched up the nose, again, rough landings in grass, etc.

And some cockpit shots. The IP was dry brushing, I skipped the decals.

Thanks for looking, this kit is a gem. I'll probably grab an armed version one day.

Wowser looks Mantastic!
