Wow. A plane. For me?
Thanks for getting back to the 1940s, Dave. I like the detail on the instrument panel, as always. Is this OOTB or what? Next, you'll have to do some Italian plane with the tricky desert camouflage.

PS -- Don't you find planes to be a little messy, Dave?

Dave, my Brother and my Friend.
If anybody can successfully get through a difficult kit, it is you my friend. Thanks for posting the pics.
ps: In addition, I kind of like how you are dedicating your work to fellow Armorama members. Therefore since I know Olive Drab is you favorite color, I am dedicating my current build to you, my OD buddy from Hong Kong. It will be available in a couple weeks.

From viewing how he shoots holes in the ceilings at his apartment, I'm not sure this is a viable alternative. Please not the pic below (lol)
