The Pearl, eh? I wasn't expecting to see a ship pop up here, but 'Hullo Black Pearl!' My buddy Matthew is one of the many, many dudes who worked at Digital Domain where they built and blew up the models. So much fun.

Thanks guys!

And Bruce, your picture makes me happy and is giving me "a new hope" that my Rafale will find its way to the finish line soon and will look similar to the demonstrotor on that Picture. :blush:

Most impressive work! I am still in awe of you ability to paint white and keep it white throughout the remaining build process!

Thanks Duke. I like the communication in that board. Real gentlemen here.
The landing gear is now fully mounted.
Hope to finish my fifth model this month for 2017.

That is looking beautiful! I can't tell if it's a reflection or the decals, but do the wing leading edges need some touch up work?
