I was happier with the checks than I expected; I was more disappointed with the stripe decals. The black bands on the tail and rudder were painted rather than decal. There are 2 tiny struts that go from the inner wheel covers to the wells that I didn't include because it was too delicate and rather than break something I let it go. The paint isn't as uniform as it should be but I learned a lot and WILL do better next time. Thanks all and on to the next one.

Nicely done Alan. Note for next time that one of the mandatory pics is from slightly above 6 o'clock, not directly above.


I think we can make do this time though.
