**** DONE: 1/48 NA F-6B - Jet/Recon/Transport GB

Mighty fine work Glenn...
 
Thanks guys :D
Getting closer and closer. Finished the landing gear and made up the whip antenna from monofilament fishing line. With a little luck I'll finish up the last few details and have it finished tomorrow.

Thanks Evan Bill

Interesting bit of history just came my way. Just now I was looking at the pics I posted last night and our secretary came in and saw them and mentioned that her dad was a mechanic somewhere outside London and he talked about working for 48 hours straight painting D-Day stripes on aircraft before the Invasion.
 
It's really looking the biz Glenn. As for applying the AEAF stripes, those done in the field were often a bit rough around the edges - those done post D-day, at the MUs, tended to be neater.
 
I put some restrained paint chipping on and put on the prop and it's Finished!

Will take the official pictures and make the final post Sunday as I have to work tomorrow.

Excellent build Glenn. I like the scheme a lot and you've represented it well.
