Looks great spiros. Good looking bird that. Great colours. You might be able to get another build in before the year is out. I’m thinking of doing two builds.
Thanks Glenn @glenn73! Cannot wait to see your builds coming! All the best!
Wheels glued, "subtle" chipping applied. Next is dirtying and oiling. All the best, EoJ GB!

Chipping and weathering almost done. Not too intensive, but I wanted to depict the harsh conditions' impact at the Val aboard the Akagi, despite the maintenance personnel laborious efforts! Keep Up EoJ GB!

This looks fantastic Spiros ! @fiveten You really nailed this one.
It shouldn't be too much longer now and you will be posting this one up in the headlines section... After it's completed, please post the reveal at your convenience.
Thanks Louis @lgardner!
Weatherbeaten like an old deck-hand! And the "meatballs" are kept pristine by the crew. . . Very nice weathering indeed @fiveten!
Thanks @airbum!
My Val had an uneven-ish coat of satin to seal everything. Also some small details attended to here and there. Canopy is almost ready. All the best and keep building!
Very nice trick to let the light come to life!
A real beauty taking shape there Spiros!
Thanks Greg @gkittinger!
Sharp, Spiro. Great paintwork.
Thanks John @j-healy! Last night various details were taken care of here and there, some fine painting etc
