Excellent work Carlos, the paintwork, the grey nuance is just top !

And as Kenny already mentioned, the photos look very fine !

Better late then never! Which PX? I was talking with Bryan about whether kits are still sold at the PX but now it seems the Army store like everything else is online. Let’s skip to the main course. Fantastic work. I don’t necessarily find whatever accuracy issues you resolved or let stand to be a problem. In my eyes you have created a beautiful finish and that is where the magic happens. We can go on and on about camo but camo is by design a way to hide the aircraft, it’s supposed to blend into whatever natural forms are present, so to see a factory painted finish like this is to really see the aircraft. Brilliant. Take a bow.

Thank you Bruce. This one is growing on me now. With the end of the build, I was more focused on the flaws. I couldn’t see the forest thru the trees sort of thing. That is now fading.

As far as which PX, I bought it at the PX on Eagle Base in Bosnia. That was on a former JNA airbase near the city of Tuzla. During my year in country the PX there carried a grand total of five different models. I bought four of them, three on clearance, and with this one have now built two of the four. I now wish that I had bought the fifth one also. Ah well.

Thank you Mike. I do appreciate your compliments!

Okay so I'm curious - what was the fifth kit you didn't buy at the PX!?
