Again, Steve, your work always impresses me! Nice, and in 1/72 as well. I just dont have the patience for that, unless its going to be big 1/72.

Thanks Black Sheep and Jeremy, I'm really liking 1/72 lately. I'm trying 1/72 armor but that seems a bit too small.
I sprayed the Val silver, sprayed some chipping fluid and got one coat of JN green on before my air valve assembly quit on my AB. I have it soaking in thinner but don't hold out much hope for a fix. That will set me back a week or two. I really need to get a second AB.

the main advantage of 72 is the less needed space and mostly the huge range of avaible subjects

A Val always is good looking! As the others, their wing´s shape is so nice. You are doing great work in a tiny cockpit. The clipped wings and downed flaps look awesome!

Glad you may continue on this one. Any plans how to do the chipping where the meatballs and other decals will be placed?

Thanks Thomas,
I chip the decals using an xacto blade.
