Hey Matt, that's a super clean build so far, really nice finish. How are you going to do the windows??

Cheers, D

Thanks Damian. The cockpit windows will be filled with Krystal Kleer, and the fuselage ones will get decals. Tossing around the idea of filling them too, and then decaling over them. I still have some time to figure it out yet. Thanks for the kudos. "Q"

The decals on the nose area have laid down nicely after this was taken. Still need to paint and install a lot of the fiddly bits, but it is coming together. Thanks for looking. "Q"

I'm not a huge fan of Civilian aircraft but this is a nice looking bird

Thanks Dirk. I'm letting things set for a little while so I don't screw something up. Still need to paint/install the elevators and all the little fiddly bits, but it shouldn't be long. I have a feeling my building time is going to be cut back severely as I have started school again which equates to homework etc. arrgh. Thanks again for the kudos. "Q"
