Oh my!  Inspirational work Brad. I very much like the CDL color and the brilliant use of the painted thick EZ line.

This is such a well done kit from Eduard and you've really done it justice.  The pre-shading and then the restrained weathering look excellent!  Great colors for the CDL and the painted forward fuselage.  Rigging looks spot on, I like your solution for the wrapped wires.  Very, very nice...

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I've done a little more of the tail rigging, now it's the main undercarriage and final details.  Getting pretty close now...!

Cheers again!
