Thanks Oldman and Stephen  :)

Stephen , that is the only reason way I pick up this kit was just for the scheme . I also have the checker Brisfit in the stash as well to go with this one . Just something about checkers . I would love to this scheme in 32 scale but I haven't seen decals for it .

Round two of the weathering is finished with the underside waiting for additional weathering with chalks . Then one last sealing coat and its off the assembly and rigging .

Last time for photo's of her still in parts .

Weather is finished and a sealing coat was sprayed . I used Vallejo semi gloss and it is still a learning curve for me , but I'm getting the hang of it and can't believe how fast it dries ! Engine is finally glued in place . The prop is not , just placed for the photo op !

Really looking great Terri. I am really liking the colors. I also must comment again about how lovely the prop looks!

I had not realised that the struts were also coloured. That means that this is going to be even more eye-catching. I could possibly see a Camel build looming on the horizon with that amount of dazzle...

Looking good, Terri.
Every time I see red and white checkers, I think of Purina dog chow packaging!
