I was beginning to think British and American planes were all drab! Thanks for modelling some color! 
Everyone here amazes me with such realistic paint skills. Yours is outstanding! :)

Thanks for all of your comments! With support like this, you fellows will have to put up with another one of my efforts in the near future.  ;D  For my next project though, I'm going to have a go at Trumpeter's 1/32 Swordfish Mk.II. When you think of it, I'm really not straying too far from the fold as it's still a biplane.

Cheers,

Chris

Chris,
    I missed your "rollout" of the completed model, was on the road to the Western Regional Show. Very nice finish after more then one "bump in the road"! Striking colour scheme and great work all round, Congrats on a fine looking model!
Cheers,
Lance

Greg,
    Had a ball, learned a lot, and even got a (minor) plaque/award. I'll be sorting out the photos and my thoughts, thought I'd do a report in the appropriate section later today/tonight.
Cheers,

Hey, Chris,

You sure snuck that one past me! Excellent work, as usual. And you wanted ME to start the WNW SE to show YOU how to do it! The shoe is certainly on the other foot now, methinks!   ;D
Cheers!
Gary

I enjoyed following your build, in spite of your tribulations. Correction:actually the tribulations made it more interesting -- and I'm not talking about schadenfreude. A good story needs a conflict...

In the end she came out very nicely indeed, congratulations!

Cheers,

Tony

Thanks for all of your comments. She ain't as 'purty' as the models you fellows churn out with ease, but with my skill set, I'm darned happy with each and everyone of these birds I'm able to build.  ;D

Cheers,

Chris
