Wow so this build got away from me and I got so tied up in the build I forgot completely to take in process photos. This kit fought me every step of the way and the clear parts was so bad a few had scratches so deep your finger nail could fit down into it. Because of that I did cut some corners and I know it's not the best I could have done. Oh and you'll notice the star is the right way up this time

Thank you all for looking in!

Turned out great Clint. It's a cool little bird and a nice addition to the collection. Maybe I'll build my ancient USA Model version
Thanks,

Looks like you whupped it into shape! Nice looking little bird. Great subject to honor those guys with huge cohones.

Thank you Lyle! I'm glad to have her on the shelf. After I make the skymaster and bronco I'll make a base to sit all three of them on.LyleW wrote:Looks like you whupped it into shape! Nice looking little bird. Great subject to honor those guys with huge cohones.

Looks great, Clint.
But as for the Model USA kit, by all accounts, it's worse. Much worse.

Eye nice finish Clint! She may have fought you a bit here and there, but the end results don’t show it. That is a real beauty that will look mighty fine on your display shelf.

That was fast but I know what you mean by forgetting to post progress pics. I forget sometimes too.
