I am just about finished.

I did a little tough up painting this morning and added the slats. I still do not know how to correct the struts on the left wing. The gap is to large to bend things into place. I may just slip in some plastic.

Looking good DB. Is that a slight bend in one of the prop blades?

Looking good so far!

It looks good David and when you think of the scale your working in and how small the aircraft is in reality, it's a damn good effort.

does look pretty good

Wayne Little · Jan 13, 2012

Done good Sir!

I agree. Looks like all those struts are a challenge.

D*** you have a good eye. The prop is warped. I was afraid to bend it because it is so small. This is not my best work but it is as good as I can get.

I added the slats and touched up the paint. I had 2 sets of decals. They are old and of course both sets fell apart. I was able to piece together something. The photo had no sqdrn markings so it was not to bad. I will going over to the model shop and see if they have anything. Final pictures soon. The only thing this did was to make me want to build it in a larger scale.
