Well I am calling this one done.. a week or so of finishing off a part built model started 3 years ago.!  Lots of aspects I’m not too happy with, none the least the cockpit coaming leather colour.  I didn’t like the headrest assembly either, although it was called for on this version.

Still, I am happy to treat this as a learning curve for my next one.!

   It looks mighty fine to me Ian, and certainly a lot better then mine (still in shrink seal in the Stash!) The plain paint scheme and that simple head rest look very appropriate to the earliest version. Nice model!
Cheers,
Lance

Well done, Ian!
There are only two states to be in:  Queensland and blotto.

Thank you.!

No indeed Terri, no wing sag.  This variant called for the slots on the fuselage to be cut out in a higher position, and the originals filled, which is potentially why there was such a tight fit.  Never mind having no paint on the wing tabs, I had to sand them a bit to get them into the slots I cut.  Better that than making those slots too big I guess.!

I need to make the swirls better next time, they are barely visible on the photos.

i think it looks great, the swirls on the metal work look very realistic and overall it's a lovely clean looking build
