Ian,

Excellent Mohawk!

She looks great. I have the Hobbycraft kit; started it about 10 years ago and it has been packed away, awaiting my attention. I hope mine turns out as well as your's.

Nice model, but the spelling should be Mohawk.

Thanks Kevin, but I didn't do the heading.....just the text which says Mohawk.

Oops, that's your Editor's fault. I'll go behind the scenes and get it corrected.

Ian,
Just an excellent overall build. I really like how you faded the camo scheme colors, as they really do look quite realistic.

Thanks for the kind words, Joel. Fun build of an under-dog aircraft.

Thank you, Damian. CBI Theater was tough on these A/C finishes. I actually went easy on the wheels. I saw some Mohawk photos where they had so much mud slop on the undercarriage it was amazing they could even function.

Best wishes,
