Looking superb,y friend @johnb!
So close to the finish line!

Satin coat is on, only thing left are the antenna wires and removing the canopy masks.

You did a really job on this. Great job!

Unfortuantely not a finish today. Worked on the antenna wires but this took more time than expected. The final one is being hold in position currently.

@fiveten, thank you, Spiros. Looking forward to that finish line as well. I'm thinking about applying a layer of matt coat, to me the current satin coat is still too shiny.

Very, very nice, @johnb!

Excellent work, my friend! @johnb you've demonstrated what skill and a few extras can do to enhance a nice, basic kit and create an impressive replica.

Thank you again for the continued support of our Korean War group. This one looks right at home in the headlines section. You have done a magnificent job with it. I read the build journal again from start to finish. One thing that stood out was the markings on the wings. I decided to do a little digging... and I have found pictures of aircraft that were stored on display in several museums in China and other places throughout the world. These are just some of the pictures I found, and they show what I'm talking about.

These planes had markings as you have done yours, plus they had markings in all 4 wing positions, top and bottom sides of the wings, right and left sides. Some aircraft had no wing markings at all.

In the end, as you have painted yours is good to go. Personally I wouldn't change a thing. It's perfect and your best build to date.

Since some of these aircraft were on display in China, I would think it would be correct for all examples, and since they operated the planes, they should know.
