Hi Louis. This has been a superb WIP, instructional and entertaining. I'm still hoping you don't dirty her up too much as she's so pretty. You have the colours to perfection for me, especially set against that azure blue belly. If I were you, I'd say this has to be up there as one of my favourite builds.

A fine ride my friend, looking forward to more pics on reveal day.

Louis, you certainly got it right!

It is a really striking scheme; the red nose and wheels; the desert camo; the checkered tailplane - it has it all!

I had a look at your previous builds to see if you ever used a base - I thought this would go really well in a dusty desert setting. Anyway looking at your display cabinets - which are stunning and meticulously maintained - I guess I know why you haven't used bases often (if at all?). Your consistency and ability to finish models to such a high standard are a total credit to you - as is your sharing of the estimable skills you have developed.

Say it quietly - work of art!
