Thanks! I am pleased so far considering what I had fouled up on this one before I came back! It will never be the same as it would but I think it will be finished this time  8)

Thanks and the same reply as above  ::)

So the Last Photo before the Completed Models section. I added some Oils which had little effect on the appearance. So this was a long lived Airframe and involved in Many Combats. Touch up paint was surely used.... Right  ::)

....  and successfully carried over the line!

After all the trials and tribulations, you've wrestled a lovely model out of a series of disasters.
Nicely done.

I think that's looking pretty darned good! I really like your treatment of the rib tapes, very effective.

Hi Rich,
Nice to see that OOP resin conversion kit.
