Calling this, DONE!

1st LT Robert Johnson 'Jay' Overcash, 64th FS/57th FG, based at Hadi Main AB, Tunisia, May 1943.

A little quirky with all the silly plugs and adapters to fit in it, but a really good model and was a bit of fun to build. Very enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a big scale for their collection.

Model is painted is USAAC Desert Sand over Neutral Grey. I used and Vallejo Acrylics for the paint, Flory Washes, pastel chalks and AK Weathering Pencils for weathering. Infini Scale Line for the aerial, True Details resin weighted tires, a brass gunsight and seat harness and finally, Barracuda Studios Decals.
