Heading down the home stretch this weekend. Got some travel starting tomorrow tho so may be late in the week before she’s ready for showtime :beer4:
Made my own decals for the grey man-o-war, the fighting eagles on the exhaust and the pilot and reo lettering (not on yet).

working on the canopy now. Have to finish the tail lighting, a few more decals (hardly any stencils and markings on the special paint scheme!), then put some clear over the decals to close it out.

Getting close now! Kina hurts my eyes to look at it, and I mean that in a good way.
Thanks,

Finished her up today! I'm really excited to present this one  Way more work than I thought it would be so I'm stoked I didn't goof anything up and it came together looking sweet. Here's a few teaser images. I'll go put up the Completed Builds pics here shortly. Let's start with my favorite pic...

I wasn't quite exactly in the middle for this pic. The canopy look skewed here but it isn't. I'm just happy Captain Dexterity here didn't drop the camera on it lol

And the big finish, I love this graphic!

Amazing! Looks super!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
