A great kit. Imperfectly finished, but done none the less. Now to rest my poor nose!

Very nice, Dave. The shading/weathering on the wheel covers is top notch and the colour scheme eye catching, and the rest of the weathering very real looking. I like what you've done with this Kit, congratulations on a beautiful Build.
Cheers,
Lance

Apart from the scar on the propeller blade I can spot no major issue with that build. Beautifully done, especially the weathering on the spinner.

That looks very nice indeed.

I think you've turned a scale model into replica of the real thing with that great paint finish

Super job, Dave.  The paint and weathering is gorgeous.  I like the chipping
on the spinner, as well as the "grass".  Really nicely done.  It was a very
good build log and hopefully you will have another for us to follow before long.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

She's truly lovely, Dave!  You say she's imperfectly finished, I say she's flawless.  As I said earlier, the scheme is beautiful and very nicely executed.  The weathering and shading are just right.  I would be proud to show this one off in my display case.
Cheers,
Bud

Looks fantastic - great build - really nice to see one in silver! I have held out getting this kit but seeing another one built up so nice I may have to give in to the temptation...

Can I join in the chorus of praise - this is a really good model and I really like the aluminium dope finish. Problems? What problems? An excellent build which I would be proud of.
