Title: Copper State Models A.W. FK.8, B-5773, Alan Arnett McLeod
Post by: coyotemagic on September 06, 2017, 07:07:34 AM: This one is tucked away in the display case at last! One of the most enjoyable kits I've had the pleasure of building, in spite of the challenges I imposed upon myself. Study the instructions and plan you sequence, keep all paint off mating surfaces and you'll have a blast building this one. Now with this one under my belt, I look forward to doing another.

Have to agree with Lance, a beautiful kit done up by a master.

Post by: coyotemagic on September 06, 2017, 08:03:07 AM: Thank you, Lance and Juan! This kit is by no means a shake and bake, but I added nothing to the kit. It is, by far, the most complete kit I've ever built. I would say it would be comparable to a WNW kit if WNW included the most comprehensive PE frets imaginable.
Cheers,
Bud

Post by: dr 1 ace on September 11, 2017, 02:18:46 AM: Time for me to join the chorus of praise (!), really great work Amigo, along with your build log these pics are an inspiration for me doing the same ( including same markings) of models of VC winners.
