    This old bottle did the trick.

    Coming along nicely, George!
    Is that Super Gloss water based?

    Thanks, Spiros (@fiveten), John (@johnb), and Alfred (@alfred): Really pleased with the old Testors. I'm not sure about the Supergloss. I think it may be a hybrid (acrylic in a synthetic lacquer base), but I need to do some research on it.

    I ran out of parts and instructions at the same time, so I think I am done. All of the sub-parts were done, so it was just a matter of adding the parts, checking things, and then calling it done. Thanks for following along. Tomorrow I will start on the Airfix F-86, with the paint scheme still to be determined.

    Thanks, John (@johnb) and Spiros (fiveten). It was a pleasure building with you both. Looking forward to yours. I had to get mine done first so that it couldn't be compared with how good yours will be. Now, on to the Airfix. Still haven't finalized what paint scheme I am doing.

    Thanks, Alfred (@alfred). Don't now about a benchmark, but I am ready to jump into the Airfix kit.
