Copper State Models A.W. FK.8, B-5773, Alan Arnett McLeod

This one is tucked away in the display case at last!  One of the most enjoyable kits I've had the pleasure of building, in spite of the challenges I imposed upon myself.  Study the instructions and plan you sequence, keep all paint off mating surfaces and you'll have a blast building this one.  Now with this one under my belt, I look forward to doing another.

Magnificent job Bud, you've really outdone yourself on this one! The team at Copper State may have indeed produced a truly outstanding Kit however you have brought out the very best in it, great modelling!

Have to agree with Lance, a beautiful kit done up by a master.

Thank you, Lance and Juan!  This kit is by no means a shake and bake, but I added nothing to the kit.  It is, by far, the most complete kit I've ever built.  I would say it would be comparable to a WNW kit if WNW included the most comprehensive PE frets imaginable.
Cheers,
Bud

A very fine model of an ugly aircraft. You have done a great job, Bud. Congratulations!

Very well done Bud, you have created a true masterpiece with this model. Like you I also enjoyed building this kit and would class it as one of the best kits available today.

Really nice, Bud! The PC-10 overall finish looks really attractive. Somehow i missed the last steps of this build, but the result is really impressive.

Outstanding build Bud! You certainly have produced a world class model and shown the Copper State FK.8 to be a magnificent kit.
