Nearly there, and I agree, the paint is better than the decals!

 

[Airframes]

Nicely done Geo.

Thanks everyone. After the inevitable strafing run on Dawg, I declare this build done, with only 6.5 hours remaining until I go back to camp. Finished photos will be posted shortly. I would like to thank everyone for looking in and offering advice and critiques. You were most helpful. Not too happy about the top-side weathering but I just ran out of time to get it to where I wanted it. Also, it was frustrating to have to deal with the white and then not having any white to match the white for white touch-ups. I hate white. Having said that, I have a white Catalina for GB#22.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, if anyone builds the USN version with the octopus and screws up the decals, I'll send you mine.

Very nice George, and there's nothing at all wrong with that weathering.
