Hi to all-

Calling this one done folks - antenna done out of fine caddis thread colored with silver permanent marker - glued with PVA .









Thanks to all for following along and sharing your thoughts and wisdom-
With the notable exception of the Photobucket disaster this has been an absolute pleasure - hope to have all on board for the next adventure !

Happy Modeling - Richard

Richard,
Just an amazing build loaded with added details everywhere, modified figures, scratch built tail wheel dolly, and a diorama that has a easy to grasp specific story line.

Can't wait to see it in person at the Mosqitocon. Should be quite a day.

Richard,
Now that's an impressive fair well shot as I've ever seen to a modeling build blog.

Looking forward to seeing it in person if these constant major Nor'easter snow storms ever stop. this is just about all I've had to deal with since I retired.

One of my favorite build logs came to an end..., a beautiful end indeed!
The result is just outstanding, no surprise taking into account amount of your effort and amazing workmanship visible in all your posts and photos. Thanks for sharing!

Best regards
Hubert

Richard-- exceptional work and a really excellent diorama. Well done! The Ki 43 is one of my favorite aircraft, and you've depicted this one beautifully.

My thanks again to my fellow modelers - all of you who have taken the time to follow, comment and advise are top shelf builders yourselves and I have much admiration for everyone's skills - I am flattered that you all think the same of mine.

Happy Modeling - Richard
