I just finished this about 30 minutes ago. It has been sitting on my to do shelf for longer than I care to remember. 1/72 Hasegawa kit built OOB using the kit decals. A combo of Model Master and Humbrol enamels were used to paint her. Unfortunately, she is a tail sitter even with the copious amount of weight I added to the nose. I'll make sure to add more to the next one or two I build. Thanks for looking. "Q"

Thanks for the kudos guys. I've got one more left to finish after this one. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it appears it isn't a train! Thanks again, "Q"

Very nice job "Q"...like the panel shading. My hands are too shaky and large for 1/72. I have great appreciation for those who work in that scale so successfuly.

Salute,
Matt

Thanks for the kind words Matt. I don't exactly have petite hands either so I feel your pain I just finished another on in the same scale. Italeri kit built OOB as well. That one went together much nicer than this one and it isn't a tailsitter either. I'll get pics of it posted on a seperate thread. Thanks again for the kudos. "Q"

This one particularly strikes a cord with me because I server with this unit when I was in the US Air Force stationed at Pope AFB North Carolina.

is the marker light on the port stabilizer(?) supposed to be red or is that just the wing color ?
