Post by: Dutch522 on March 10, 2024, 01:25:36 PM: Hey, wait a minute, this one didn't fight in the Battle of Britain... :D

Looks great, Rick, that's a scheme I'm totally unfamiliar with but you've really got a way with that streaky finish.

That is super Rick as others have written. The streaking is superb - that is a finish of which you really are the master.

Thanks Allan! I was bidding on the same FB site for Another Meng 1/24th Tripe last week. It went for $45.00. I didn't notice the last bid until it was too late :'( That being said I did get a CSM Nieuport 23 RFC this week 8)
