Hi Tom,

That's really nice.  I especially like the woodwork in the interior and the way the seat is painted.  ...great job!

Tom,
A gorgeous build of a fantastic kit!( The Snipe continues to be one of my favorite WNW kits).   I think you have nailed the overall scheme and look of Barkers Snipe. Really great rigging and your construction looks flawless.

You are very kind! It was a nail biter through much of the build: first the cockpit rigging, then the decals, then the rest of the rigging...but I truly love the problem-solving. I seriously admire the work all of you do and share on this forum.

Cheers,  Tom

What a fantastic model. I particularly like the cockpit and the paint finish. Truly inspirational to a WnW newbie like me!
