She looks great James!!!! ;) Have one in stash and although I think I will get to this one in around next year I still struggle to choose the scheme. I've seen just green ones, green&mauve and Im thinking about the one with lozenge on fuselage... but they all have their characters!!! :) I guess choosing scheme is part of fun and our hobby... ;)

Thankyou everyone. I've enjoyed this kit, but see where I could do better or at least differently. I think using the dining room table was a good move as it allows me to build without having to get down the stairs. Just a few more things and I'll be very happy. I wouldnt mind doing another but with lozenges although I really like the simplicty of the straight green one also. Again thanks :)

Almost done. I want to do the rigging so I can finish up but been to painful to use my arm much. Prop on and spinner sitting there. Cant wait to finish.







Also the one door wont fully close and trying to force it sprung the nose joint. So will have to fix and paint.

   Very nice James, your colours really look great. When I saw this "in the flesh" just two weeks ago I was taken by the size, a monster compared to the other 2 seaters! Your Cammo Pattern is just like the Museum's survivor, nice work! 8)
Cheers,

Thank you both. Means a lot to me. I should have mentioned that this prop was the first time I coloured the laminates with water colour pencils. A bit of a learning curve, but I think I'll try it more. Another lesson I learned on this site. I cant tout the camaraderie, freely shared experience, or incredible amount of freely given knowledge here. Thanks everyone.
