Looks great!

Hopefully you can fix the wing glitch with a little touch up

My thoughts as with Rick, Terri. The lozenge work overall is wonderful and
the paintwork flawless.  Excellent progress!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Made a bit of progress but not what I was shooting for , which was to have her finished up this weekend .

Weathering is finished minus the landing gear which still needs be done . Top wing mounded . On the front struts for the inter I had to trim off about 1.5 mm . Other then that rest of the struts fitted beautifully . So maybe by the weekend I can her finished up .

the final pictures.  Well done, my friend.

Thanks Ernie and Rick . The flash didn't do my weathering efforts justice , you can barely see it . Will have to try a few pic's with the flash next time around .

Exceptional work all around on this one, T!  That's a really striking scheme and you've done a beautiful job on it.
Cheers,

Ditto to Bud and Rick's comments, it is now a trifecta from the 3 Amigo's !
