   Thanks so very much, all of you! My confidence level was very low on this one as, despite the Refs showing heavy wear on most, I thought I might have overdone that. I'm also having a hell of a time with arthritis in the hands/fingers and it's starting to effect results. I Guess it beats the alternative so I'll stop the bitching there!
   Dave, I'm taking another break and going for a change in pace with an Off Topic "Yellow Wings" era Grumman F3F3. I'll be opening a Build log in Under Construction shortly. It's the 1962 Monogram release, a real trip dowm memory lane and should be a lot of fun!
Cheers,
Lance

Great work Lance, well done! I do like your subtle approach to the chipping and shading. I've taken some weathering inspiration from you (I'm very slowly working on the Eduard 1/48 version - there's just something nifty about the lines of the Bullet!).

Cheers!

Wow Lance - that really turned out well indeed. I'm very impressed with every aspect of it. I'm very sorry to hear that you are impeded with some arthritis in your hands. It certainly didn't stop you from producing a top-class model here. Good luck with the Grumman. I love your "between the wars" biplanes. I'm sure your "flying barrel" will be another winner.
Cheers,
Gary
