    Paint looking excellent Spiros (@fiveten). That pilot doesn't look too badly molded, should paint up real nice.

    Thanks my friend @clipper! He was taken from an Academy F-86 and had to perform some surgery on him, especially repositioning his left hand to look like he grabs the throttle.

    Camo looks great, Spiros (@fiveten). What kind of paint did you use for the paint?

    It always feels kind of weird cutting up these plastic figures to reposition them. I keep looking over my shoulder expecting someone to haul me off for mutilating a body! 🙂

    Nice work on the seat, Spiros @fiveten
    The pilot does look quite nice, looking forward to see it painted.

    Indeed, my friend @clipper! Poor figures! They have to behave, otherwise they are mutilated 🤭
