Most photographs show this aircraft with one wing void of the checkered markings. I believe this was a replacement wing so chose to depict it at a previous time.





Thanks for looking in!

That has turned out really well given the vintage of the kit. I do like the underwing markings.

Very well done, Tim. You've done these older kits proudly. That checkerboard underside is a thing of beauty.
