Hmm. I must be getting better with the camera, only one very blurred and just a couple of them out of focus.
On the wings and body I laid down rivet lines, I couldn't get the pictures of them to focus properly though. It might be the lighting I'm using.
It looks great though. PanthermanIt is ready for final assembly and weathering now, after that it'll be making the base and securing the model to it.

I'm going into the final assembly and weathering on it, then it's the flat clear coat and basing it.
This model is almost 30 years old and I never want to deal with decals that are that old again. They were slightly brittle and I had to use a needle to pull them off the paper and place them on the model.
Looks great
Thanks.It looks great though. Pantherman
Thank youThat has turned out very nicely.
That's a great build. I bet you're buddy will be thrilled with it. PanthermanNow the finished model. The only thing that is missing is the memorial plaque that I made for it. My buddy didn't want it on line.
