I started this kit on or about April 16th and finished it today. Some of the membership have been faithful followers of my build log on the 'Under Construction' board and I'd like to thank all of you who have provided so much support. The kit was painted with Tamiya acrylics and is basically an OOB build with the exception of the following.
- Engine detailed with spark plugs and leads.
- HGW seatbelts.
- Monofilament and brass tube rigging.
- Pulley ports hollowed out, detailed, and filled with two part epoxy.
- Wing ribs highlighted with pastels.
- Fuselage bands and rudder painted, instead of using the kit supplied decals.
While I ran into some difficulties during this build, they were almost all of my own making, and I discovered a certain satisfaction in learning how to circumvent said difficulties.
Thanks for looking, and now it's time to figure out what to build next.
Cheers,
Chris
