Yeah, it does feel good to get one out of the way. Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you, sir. The silver is a mix of MM Clear Semi-gloss, Tamiya XF-16 and a few drops of XF-1 Flat Black. I am happy with it. From what I heard, this is one of the easiest WB kits to do. I have two C-46 kits in the stash.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
I know all too well about having a tough kit to deal with and wanting off of your bench. Way to go on the finish. Looks pretty dang good from all the angles that I'm seeing.

Thank you, Joe! She is definitely a 10 footer. I think my air brush is not right. I need to play around with it.

Maybe there is a nut loose on the handle...

Turned out great Lyle! You would never know that the decals caused you problems with the save you did! I also like the dull look of the aluminum, not every bird in the sky is polished up like a mirror!
Lyle, I think that looks sensational for a Williams Bros. kit. You really did a fantastic job on such a challenging kit. You have every reason to be proud. I love it!
