Mark, it's great to see progress on your space shuttle! That thing will be awesome when you finish it! And the perfect companion piece to your Apollo/SaturnV

Thanks Carlos. No more progress yet on the shuttle, but I was able to get this done...

I shot another dullcoat and then removed the canopy masking from my F/A-18 Hornet:

Now all I have to do is wait for my replacement burner cans, clean the canopy and mount the ordinance and this bird will finally be done.

Dude, I wish I could complete half of what you do in one year...

Thanks again man, I have slowed down considerably over past years. If this keeps up, I'll be finishing as many as you do a year. I looked back: twelve years ago I was averaging 54 models finished each year. Lately I'm lucky if I break the low thirties.... :headbang:
