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 :giggles:

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 :hmm:

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.

Looks great, Clint.

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

Eye nice finish Clint! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: 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.
