Time to paint the (Half) Airwing. 30 aircraft that I'm going to hand paint. Makes it easier than trying to mask off all the canopies.

I'm not much of a ship building kind of guy BUT......the way that the aircraft are being done these days takes a lot of pain out of the whole aircraft building problem.

P.S. Just because I don't build ships doesn't mean that I don't enjoy well built ones like this. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "I could look at this stuff for HOURS." :shocked:
