My first post here although I have been a long time lurker. This was a pretty simple oob build except for the camo mottling which was my first attempt.

Thanks for the comments guys. Airframes, thanks for the heads up on the prop. Looks like I may be painting over the chips. :oops:
 
I agree with Airframes.The model looks great.The camo scheme is really well done. But there is something wrong with the windshield, cockpit conopy and main landing gear. But it might be my eyesight problem.

Yep! I thought something looked a bit strange! The screen's either upside down, or the wrong shape, as it's too tall and angular. Canopy is probably not fully seated, and the landing gear is a bit vertical in both rake and camber.
 
I think the windshield is glued on upside down...apart from that, very nice work mate - especially the camo work!

I think you are right Terry..Concerning the conopy hood it is settled too deep..I'm afraid.The slided part of the cockpit conopy should have been moved back on edges of the cockpit boardsides.But here it is almost at the level of the fuselage stiffeners.
 
Ok, you guy's were correct, thanks for pointing it out. :oops: It's now attached correctly. Now I'll have to take new pics. :)
 
No problem . Glad we helped a little bit.

Looking familiar?
