davec Posted May 9, 2024 Author #32 Posted May 9, 2024 Paul and Chris - many thanks. I picked the scheme because of the bright colors. The other decal choices that came with the kit were all based around the standard British olive drab. This one was a lot more fun and looks good in the display case. I didn't take many pictures between the last ones and now, but it is finished. The rigging took a few evenings and painting was complete on the other parts, so it came together very quickly. I'm overall very pleased with how it came out, and learned a lot, especially with the decals. I really love these wingnut wings kits.

DocRob Posted May 9, 2024 #33 Posted May 9, 2024 Your Lobster came out fantastic, Dave. Congratulations for this vivid looking model and that you have mastered the British rigging. It´s always a WNW moment, when the upper wing falls in place without much effort.
