Wow, that's what I call a comeback!
The pictures are a bit on the dark side, but the great paint job is clearly visible nonetheless. You nailed the soft transitions between the colors. Antenna, canopy, all the small parts looking great, too. :shoutout:

Beautifully done! Good looking a/c.

Thanks guys. Yeah, gotta get set up on the photography end. These photos were taken with my iPhone 5, with some household lamps borrowed from the living room for lighting. I have to do all my editing on the small phone screen as well. Need to fix my PC.

That looks very sharp!!! I use my iPhone 7 to do all my model photos now. It has a great macro ability. I edit on the phone as well, and then easy upload to Photobucket. Their app is the only positive thing about the site nowadays...

I was really hatin PB until the new phone and app. It is so cumbersome to use any other way. The two together now make it so simple. Definitely my speed.
