    Canopy done, port sided pitot scratch built, as it was not provided by the kit...

    This Banshee is looking great Spiros (@fiveten). It's kiind of funny, until I got back into modeling in 2017, I never paid much attention to jets, being a died in the wool propeller man instead. But I've since found new favorites in these 50's jets. There's just something about a straight wing jet that makes them ultra cool.

    Hi, Spiros (@fiveten): I was walking through the garage today and my Hobbycraft Banshee was calling to me from the shelf. But it will need to wait until I get farther through my build queue. This model is really looking good.

    Thanks my friends @clipper and @gblair! Indeed, the Banshee has a really cool shape, it is an attractive plane in its own manner.
    Oh yes, George, so many models calling us 🙂

    Well done, Spiros (@fiveten). You took an ancient kit and turned it into something special. It was a pleasure to follow along. Now, what is next in the queue?

    A fine looking result, Spiros. Up to your usual high standards. Apologies for not following the build more closely, but the final product looks really sharp. Hope to get back at my Dakota soon. In the meantime, looking forward to your next build. Cheers.
