Hi Allan @kalamazoo!

What a nice choice!

I have the same one, and now, seeing your progress, just want to go and start it!

Looks to be a nice-as-always-'n'-sweet Heller kit. I love your work so far and the scratchbuilts you do to improve some lacking areas.

Love the SBS rigging too! Are the wires flattened?

Also, your chosen scheme will be the all silver one?

Waiting eagerly to see your progress, I can sense it might urge me to start mine too!

Thanks Spiros, isn't all PE flat ? yes silver with yellow bands, urge - urge, --------
Thanks Erik, me too !

Nice craftsmanship, Allan @kalamazoo! Blending and masking will produce a superb result.
I am usually lazy, adding canopies at the end and handpaint them, color shade differences and resulting gaps definitely and annoyingly included.

The Dh Australia assembly line is at full steam. . . Great with the continuous updates - keep 'em comin' @kalamazoo

Oh man - I have toyed with doing the Dragon Rapide, but after rigging that Fi-167 I wanted to take a break from rigging. But now that I'm aware of that AM set, I may have to snag me one and get started! Yours is looking great - nice extra work to bring it "up to speed."

You are a mind-reader, Allan (@kalamazoo). Like the others, I was also thinking about doing this kit. I just got the SBS set of wires in the mail, too. You can be the pathfinder on this kit, and we can follow your lead.

A little more done !
