Glad to see that you stayed with a real aeroplane Lance, i.e. it has an engine (not a hole), a fan and and a spare wing! Beautifully fished too - those yellow winged craft were certainly eye catching.

A Great model, Lance! I have a soft spot for "Yellow Wings" too and I really like this... ATB, Marc.

 Lance,
Stunning project my old friend. Absolutely love her paint work too. Congratulations and well done. I have the same kit and accessories you used plus the Vector resin replacement for her engine. Which is amazing  in detail as well as an outstanding improvement over the kit supplied engine.
Highest Regards

Terri, Greg and Ken,
    Thanks!  Greg, I never thought of the Vector engine, the kit one did require quite a bit of sanding down of the lifter assemblies to allow the ring cowl to fit around it.
Cheers,
Lance

Lance, My apologies for not commenting sooner! I love what you have done with this colorful bird! As always your finish is incredible. You are a Master no matter the era!

Very Nice lance, Likewise I have done a few of these .  As easily seen , despite their age (done in the mid-late 70's) they build up nicely !

Thanks Rick, Marc and Ed. As I mentioned before you can't beat the colours of this era, let alone the designs. They are all pretty easy on the eyes, and Hasegawa did a very good job on the Kits for "back then"!
Cheers,
Lance
