IF only I had waited eh? Bugger  :(
Well, mate, if you had waited, there wouldn't be a late Ninak to wait for, would there?  Sod's Law.

When you look at it that way  :o  you are correct ;D

Cheers my friend, have a good one.

Thanks for following the build by the way, much appreciated.
And that goes for all of you guys. It gives me the incentive
to make a good job of it. My thanks to you all.

Cheers

Dave, this is looking really good, and I can only echo the others sentiments: thanks for taking a bullet for the team! Now, we get a late Ninack!

Nervously hand painted the 30 sqn palm tree last night
so the old girl has her identity almost. Did the pitot
tube on the spar as well, so getting closer to the top
wing saga and all that bloody rigging  :o

Cheers

Truly brilliant work on the squadron markings, Dave.  I never would've had the stones to try something like that.  Instead, I would've spent 6 months trying to produce it on the computer and print it on decal paper.  The build would languish and the thread would die.  Really amazing work, my friend.
Cheers,
Bud

Practice on scrap, then keep a pair of clean underwaer handy
in case it all goes to c**p . . . . Really, just practice, a steady
hand and a fine brush. . . . .  He says  ;D

So what if they release a late model, yours is, and will be better! I really like the whole deal here! Your added details, paintwork etc.! Looking forward to your rigging process,
