    That finish is sensational Tom - I've learned a lot from watching your builds - the transition from gloss coat to dull coat is always a transformation - brilliant - thanks!

    Nice work Tom. I’ve had that kit and a set of Texas Terror decals sitting the stash for ages. I’ll be referring to yours when I finally do mine.

    I echo these sentiments, Tom. I'll be a content man when I can master a finish like you do. It's really easy on the eyes and draws you in to admire the details of the craft. Very, very nice work.

    Paul, John and David I do appreciate your kind comments, but as modeling goes it always seems when you're finally getting the little pieces on, you somehow break something. An example, while I'm adding a clear navigation light to the twin tails I of course break off the top mass balance.

    Well at least I learned it's probably best to do those steps in reverse order. The ever perfect model alludes me and probably many others, that's what makes it fun.
