I like it. I like it.

Are the parts out of their baggies yet?

Looking forward to this as well, can't wait to see some piccies!..

Not to hijack the thread, but it's funny Marcel should mention the DXXI..I began a 3d model of one about three weeks ago, was forced to put it on the side burner for a bit, but am looking forward to getting back to it..
Not much to look at yet... jigged up and completed so far...

Interior finally done. Colors of knobs and such were a challenge due to the lack of color photos.

Having been out of model building so long, I had totally forgotten the "trim the decals before using" - a lesson remembered the hard way.

The last pic was done with the help of a #1 X-Acto knife. I found that following this with a double scotch helped take the edge off of the "I-Told-You-So" comment from the wife.

..Ouch!.....nice work mate!

You need to have the missus kiss it and make it better ! Or, as mother use to say, it will heal before you die....

The instrument panel looks good !

Looking real good mate!

 

[Catch22]

Looks great!

I did the same thing while chopping the wingtips off of my Corsair, only it was on my knuckle, bled for ages! Hopefully your finger heals up ok.

 

[Airframes]

Looks good VB. You really shouldn't do that sort of thing to your finger, the blood makes a terrible mess of the model's detail, and it's SO difficult to correct!
Oh, and yeah, the cut tends to sting and itch a bit too!

great detail painting

I didn't know Buffaloes had flecks of red for the interior colors?

Can't wait to see this built. Have a soft spot for Buffaloes.
