Very nice.

Oh man, I didn't even catch that.

Wasn't crazy about how dark the paint got, gave it a wash in ghost gray.
Canopy is on, almost done.

Brushing quickly, briskly with a light touch.

Almost there, I know the decals are not correct to the plane but I like them better than what came with the kit.

I built this kit when I was in Jr. High. Absolutely loved it, and wish I still had it. You did a beautiful job.

I do that all the time. I know it rubs some people wrong, but I choose markings and camo, even optional components based solely on what I think looks the coolest.

Like what you build. Build what you like.
