A gorgeous model. Lovely fine details all around. And such an attractive aircraft, I wish it would be available in 32nd scale

That is a nice build! I agree with everything my colleagues have said!
Is it PC10 or 12? On some pictures it looks like PC12.

But you don't need to recommend the kit to me as it is already in my stash

Cheers,

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Frank, it's PC10.  I used the Wingnut instructions for PC10 as a guide, but added some white to lighten it up.  I also used a slightly different mix with more gloss for the engine area and cockpit area since these were not fabric.  The fabric was 25/25/50 mix of XF-2 flat white/XF-10 flat brown/XF-62 olive drab.  It does take on different colors depending on the light and the angle of the light, sometimes more brown and other times more olive drab.

Great work! Good to see your efforts with this beautiful model! I spotted lots of nice details, some that I probably missed on mine too. Is that nose made up from PE?! Good work on that in that case.

I enjoyed watching you build yours and seeing how great it turned out motivated me to finish mine.  The nose is made from the pieces in the kit.  The nose is plastic while the side panels and bottom panel are PE metal.  There is one small plastic cover for the engine but I left that lose and leave it off to show off the engine, otherwise you just see the exhaust.

Glad to have helped in that case! 😀😀😀
I thought there were some tricky PE parts, but maybe that's in the late version or not at all?! Your nose looks amazing though and I think it's a good call to show that engine!
