    Antenna wire and the cable holding the canopy are there.
    Only a quick checkup to see if I missed something, otherwise I would call it - finished.

    Your 109 looks outstanding and I look forward to seeing it in the headlines section soon. You did an incredible job with her, and I especially like how the camouflage paint turned out. When you added the additional dirt, dust and grime it was like icing on the cake.

    I have to place a temporary hold with working on my 109's, and the B-24 "Tubarao" as well. I have a pair of 1/32 scale Revell Mustangs underway, and these were placed in a holding pattern until I figured out how to tackle a problem I was having in two different locations.

    One was a tribute build for Major Preddy, who was killed on Christmas Day 1944. My original plans were to get it done so I could post it in the headlines section on Christmas Day. Now I have figured out what steps were needed, so I want to get it done in time to meet the deadline I set.

    Once the Mustang is completed, I will resume work on these 109's I have started, (and finish up the B-24 too).

    It shouldn't take too long to complete the Mustang now. I made some considerable progress on "Cripes A Mighty", so please look for an update coming up on it next.

    @lgardner, thanks a lot, Louis. Although I think I could have done slightly better on the dots, more smaller ones and a bit more diffuse, I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Looking forward to your Mustang on Christmas day and the continuation of the 109's.
