ccoyle Posted Saturday at 07:56 PM Author #61 Posted Saturday at 07:56 PM Here is the finished gun sight. Yes, there was certainly some eye strain involved. I'm down to only 18 parts left to add to the model, so the next post (whenever that is) will be the Big Reveal.

ccoyle Posted Sunday at 03:38 AM Author #62 Posted Sunday at 03:38 AM Between last night and today we finished off the drop tank pylon, gun sight, canopy, armored headrest, antenna, aerials, wing cannons, aileron balance horns, and pitot tube. And with that, she's all done. And that's all you get to see for now, because it's way too late here to be taking more pictures!

ccoyle Posted Sunday at 07:19 PM Author #63 Posted Sunday at 07:19 PM The Big Reveal! And so, just two days shy of two months from beginning to end, we reach the end of this journey. As is usual with Halinski kits, which have sometimes been described as 'over engineered', this model was quite a challenge to build and thus very rewarding to finish. It is not a kit for the faint of heart or neophyte card modeler, but its degree of detail and realistic artwork are matched by few other publishers in the hobby. On to the pictures! Thanks for stopping in, and I'll catch y'all on the next one! Richard44, brunnels, Thukydides and 22 others 15 10 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
