    Not that easy with so many frames, Allan @kalamazoo
    Will look excellent after some trimming.

    I am always impressed with how you manage to clean up Humbrol on clear parts.

    Framing looks great, Allan @kalamazoo
    Must have been time consuming to get those glasses cleaned.

    I missed the start of this build, Allan (@kalamazoo). Looks great, despite the aggravation of the large clear parts. I have an Alouette 2 that I want to do soon in an overall red scheme that Argentina used. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
