Ok decals on......and I dropped it afterwards. Knocked wing off. Repaired but not perfect. Now I gotta just finish this thing and put it in the back of the display case. Next is gloss coat for weathering

Looks real good for having a wing knocked of TJ. I know the feeling though. Thinking about changing my screen name to butter-fingers. Fortunately I have not dropped the skyraider yet....

Knocked the wing off?! That must have been a hard landing since the bottom piece of the wing is a single pice for both sides on that kit. Good to hear that you repaired the damage.

Man that sucks, but at least you've got it back together now - it's looking good!

Ok finally got this thing off my bench. Operator error made most of the issues but it's definitely not a shake and bake

Great looking finish TJ! A mighty fine build of a Scooter Fast FAC.
