G’day Erik (@erikjameskidd),
Nicely done.
Funnily enough, I just bought one of these off a friend today.
You look to have gotten the wing tips attached and blended in cleanly.
The wear looks good, too.
Liked!
Nice build, Erik, and especially neat painting of the canopy frames. The aluminum looks really good to me. Did you apply a clear coat over it? Congratulations on this striking build!
Incredible job. Lots to learn from here. Thanks for sharing!
Superb Oscar. It's so elegant, you might not know how dangerous it was. Great post!
Great build Erik. Excellent attention to detail on the weathering 👍
Very nice! Has a really worn look to it.
