Thanks for the compliments guys, duly appreciated to be sure and keeps the motivation levels up there.
@ Des: Like you, I am surprised this kit has not been featured more. It is an attractive model with a host of attractive schemes. A very straightforward build with no "gotchas" anywhere. I am going to do another one as it is one of my favorites and there are so many schemes for it. I too like seeing the different scales and manufacturers represented. Makes it interesting indeed.
@ Lance: Thanks Lance. I highly recommend it. I built it OOB, I know you could really do some magic with your weathering techniques etc. It is a great kit.
@ Ernie: Go for it. I can't recommend it enough. Even the rigging is easy, save for one little piece coming off the top wing to the side of the fuselage, takes a little planning on that bugger.
@ Rick: Thanks again for stopping by and your compliments. Always appreciated.
