Thanks, John. Neat little kit. It was mostly together for a while. The lovers were highlighted with Tamiya black Panel wash.

Hey, watch it there, Bub!!! I thought this was supposed to be a family-friendly forum. :giggles:

That's sure a great example of how nice a simple little kit can look. Nicely done, Lyle. And record time. Oh wait, you built it, not me.....

Thanks, Joe. She has a slightly older sibling "MIKE" that is essentially the same aircraft but with a smaller engine.

Thanks, Mike. You should grab a couple of these. They are simple and usually quick to build.
