    After a break to regain some sanity, more wing struts and other mod's, amazing how details previously unseen can show up when looking at other things !

    You do notice some details when coming back to a project after some time. And it is a lot easier to sand as everything is nice and dry.

    Always great to paint a bunch as the 'brush is loaded. I have been searching for this kit at a few places after seeing your build Allan. I shall return to check how it is done when I get around to making one. I have said it before, and I will say it again - your clean builds while still including detail is a real joy to look at. Thanks for sharing!
