Thanks Kelly !
Carl , I built this one about 9 to 10 years ago now . It has been knock off the shelf by the cat 2 times now and put back together . I do have another kit in my stash and there is a few things that I will do differently , better than my first time .

Great. You should post some of your ather builds. It is giving my wife a little push, if you know what I mean. She also sends a "That really looks good. She is pretty good".

I do like it Terri.

I have this in my stash too. Interesting effect with the flat coat on the fuselage!

Cheers,

Hugh

Hi Hugh , the interseting effect was done by a mishap a few years ago . I was cleaning the dust off with water in a spary bottle and when it dried it turned the paint into what you see now . I do this with all of my models and this was the only one that it did this to . So I really don't what happened with this one . I do like the look of it though ! Has that real wore weathered look .
