Looks great. Your damage recovery operation was 100% successful.

Rick,

I think that you are being too self critical with this one - from the photos at least it really look s the part and I am sure that observers will not see the tiny errors that shout out at you. You have done a super job on the painting and weathering and the rigging looks much better than very good.

Stephen.

Thanks Stephen!  I stand by My statement that the rigging will do  8)
RAGIII

I totally agree with Stephen, I can't see any repairs or anything out of place. I'd be proud to have that on display.

Thanks Zac! I think I have mentioned before that lousy photography has it's perks  ;D
RAGIII

Going to agree with the others Rick , what damage !



Alexis

As always thanks Alexis!
RAGIII

That weathering really gives it a beat up look - just the thing to go along with the battle damage!

Thanks Ken. As any good IPMS judge knows, "Weathering" is just a way to cover up flaws  :o ...so the battle damage is not as visible  8)
RAGIII

Looks great. Your damage recovery operation was 100% successful.
Sandy

Thanks Sandy. Probably closer to 80%  ;D

This is, Hopefully, the last one prior to completed models. All of the rigging is re attached, touched up, and tightened. I have done some painting on the wing rondels, especially the ailerons, to represent an old ,worn, airframe, that had it's ailerons replaced.

I think you've done a marvelous job Rick. I like the color scheme you used and I can't see anything wrong with rigging. You shouldn't be too critical of yourself. I think you can be very proud of this beautiful bird.

Another great addition for your already bulking display cabinets!

 Yes, doing the rigging for this bird is really a nightmare.
To me your rigging looks very good, all the cables are straight and where they should be.
I also like the overall look of your plane, this one is a beauty  :)
Greetings,
Michael
