Egilman Posted November 16, 2022 Share #122 Posted November 16, 2022 These old kits are great, but some of them are special, this is one of them.... They can be built into museum quality display of a modelers talents.... That is what we are seeing here.... Impressive work my friend.... I hope mine comes out as well...

I'm sure yours will turn out great, probably much better if I'm honest EG.😊 I did a dry fit of the canopy, and was surprised at how much could be seen, which after what I had to do getting the cockpit to fit in the fuselage is quite a relief.

Edwardkenway Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share #125 Posted November 19, 2022 Well, I'm going to call this finished. Placing the decals was done, canopy fitted, and the aerial cable being the final job I put the flash on for these next photos And finally a view through the canopy Thanks to everyone who's followed this build, it's been greatly appreciated. If ever I go with aftermarket parts again, I'll be sure to get the appropriate kit designed parts. The cockpit was a real bear to get to fit! Anyhow, it's on to the next one soon.
