Calling this one done. Happy the decals came in early.

Very nice! There is just something about this bird.

Very nice! Haven’t done one since I was a kid.

That is beautiful, John! What a great finish and a great looking scale model! Well-done, dude.

Nicely done, John. Fine blue finish!

Thanks Tom. I built the boxart version of this exact kit when I was about 14 - didn't know about the destructive rubber tires back then. I thought they were super cool and all model companies should do that

Thanks John - she sure is a pretty airplane and the overrall gloss sea blue is growing on me.

Thanks Lyle. I agree - just a ver cool airplane and such a skinny fuselage looking at it from the front.

Beautiful! Aside from the P-38, I don't think anybody made such a gorgeous single seat twin piston engined heavy fighter.
The Mosquito was a beauty, as was the Me-110, but both were multi crewed aircraft designs.

Great looking build!! Looks WAY better than mine. If you haven't seen one of these flying, you should. You'll absolutely fall in love with it.

If I ever get the check to see one flying, I’ll take it up!

I'd love to see one in person, flying or static. Just a beautiful plane.
