    Great preshading and nice rendition of the silver bands, my friend @johnb!
    P.S. Weirdly your previous two updates did not show, maybe I somehow missed them..

    @fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros. Maybe one of those modern time hiccups.

    Great save on the silver bands, John (@johnb). It looks like they laid down perfectly over the gray. There are still some interesting issues with loading and update. I have a continuing issue with photos. I type the update, then upload the photos. After I add any narrative to each photo, I click to post the reply. The problem is that about half the time the photos don't update with the written part. So, I have to reload the photos, add any narrative to them, and then try to load them again. They usually go in the 2nd time.

    @gblair, thank you, George. After the server update, I think it was last year, the same happened to a lot of us. Pictures simply wouldn't upload. Not sure what exactly has changed, but lately I'm not having those issues anymore. Not sure what the exact reason was or is.

    Propellor with cone and red/white rudder applied. The rudder is slightly angled to give it a less static look.

    Looking super, my friend @johnb! Indeed, the angled rudder adds life!

    You are almost ready to place this one in the headline section. She looks really good, and it will only get better from here. Thanks again for participating in our Korean War Group. I'll be looking forward to seeing your next installment.

    What color did you use for the Light Gray ? I have one of these in the stash but mine is made by Hobby Boss. I have done a little bit of work on it, but not too much. I painted the exhaust and the propeller.
