Getting close to the end. I'm still waiting on the anchor chain and waterline numbers.
I still have a few more guns to add and touch-up and fix several parts.
The rear antenna plate was a real pain in the butt to get the back onto the flat part.
I think I'll paint the waterline Monday or Tuesday. I'm painting it all black, no red just as her restoration is.

Excellent work!
No kidding, Matt. There is so much. I've never worked with this much PE, it's insane!
Thank you, Blake.

He's drunk. I guess that's what I get for leaving my adult beverage unattended. lol
Im really loving this build. You have me looking at my Missouri but it's not time yet for that.
Great job
Great job
Thanks, Tim. This has been a fun, and sometimes a little frustrating build.
Ok. I am mostly finished with this build. I just finished the butter railing which is the very last page and step (37).
I still have to put the floats on the plane, and I'm waiting for my anchor chain and waterline numbers, they are coming from China, and paint the waterline after I spray a satin finish to protect what I have
Here are a few pics.

That is a mighty fine piece of work, the details are amazing. Got to find a good display shelf for her. Pantherman
Excellent work. I agree with PM, this needs a nice display case or shelf.

Ich bin ja, Herr, in Deiner Macht
Nice progress, and glad for you that you're coming down the home stretch! This will make a great display!

Thanks, brother. I'll have to get a nice shelf to place this ol girl on.

Probably would have been quicker to fire up the actual Texas to go retrieve them for you

This sucks!
After spraying on a substantial amount of a satin varnish. I put the tape to mast for the waterline and it pulled off the paint. So I repainted and put a substantial amount of floor gloss and still the paint peeled off.
Any suggestions?

It kinda does
I think I'll try this; I painted a black primer tomorrow I shoot a black coat which I think (hope) it won't peal the black off. I'm going to tape off the waterline and touch-up around the hull.
I tried for as much detail on the recon plane like weathering and chipping paint, and panel lines
