That looks great so far Kenny. Funny thing about the number styles on the gear doors (even though they are historically correct) the look like price tags on the merchandise on "The Price is Right" lol. I aint pickin' so don't misunderstand me. Just a comical observation. :wink:

Don’t worry! I didn’t take it that way at all, rather, I share your sentiment! Fact about it, that goofy number marking is one detail that really made me like this subject. It’s so unseemly and silly. Like they just painted it on there with a brush. I think it adds a lot to the model.

It probably was hand painted instead of stenciled.

Yup. That’s what I’m thinking, Carlos. And I’m learning that I love little details like that. They give the subject that little bit extra that pushes it over the cliff interest-wise, to me.
