Thanks John and Tom.

Oh, I got that recipe….just tired of it right now. I am going to finish this, though. The help awaits. I have a few more B&Ps to add and I’ll do some more dirt.

Either you weather i5 or not, that’s a cool tank, Lyle. I had actually thought about grabbing that one for this GB at one point until I found the Rufe. I’ve already done the Kingfisher and why not do a WW2 Japanese floatplane? So the Rufe it is…. :giggles:

Well, I am at the 99.9% done point now... I still need to add an antenna wire tomorrow once the antenna mast is fully dry in place, and some dirt on the wheels.

after I add those things, I'll get the usual multi angle photos up in the proper completed forum...
For the purposes of this GB thread, it is finished! :grin:

Oh man, never post a 99.9 % done model Stik :nono: Now we feel like we've seen it already :mrgreen:
At any rate, it looks quite impressive. The camo looks just great. Would never have guessed it's the old Otaki kit if I did not know it already!
