Bud,

Excellent - your WNW Tripe is looking very striking - love the turned metal look to the cowling and really favour your choice of markings.  I have this kit in my stash so will follow your work carefully, mate.

Regards

Dave

Thanks, Dave!  I like this scheme, as well.  Kinda breaks up the PC12 a bit.
Cheers,
Bud

Very colorful; I like it. (It's the general blandness of Brit subjects that keeps me away from them.)

Starting to really look the part now Bud, the engine cowl, fuselage decals and the tail all look superb.

Hello Bud:

I like this scheme you have chosen, it looks good and I like the turned metal look on the cowling and panels.  Nicely done.

Best
