    Hi everyone!

    Touched up the canopy base.

    Made two navilights, using my Pilot silver pen, coated with red and green clear paint respectively.

    Made an aerial wire with stretched sprue.

    Glued the prop.

    Did whatever touchup have I missed...

    ...and called this baby done!

    What a lovely ride it was!

    Thanks our host Louis @lgardner and all you dear friends for following along!

    Off to the headlines tomorrow!

    Spiros, @fiveten
    This has been a fantastic ride, and I have really enjoyed watching this model come to life. You have done a magnificent job with it, especially with all of the scratch built work in the cockpit. I will definitely keep your model's build journal in mind as a reference, when the time comes around and I start working on mine.

    Your PSP QC team has done a wonderful job !

    It looks magnificent, and I look forward to seeing this one in the headlines section soon. Take care my friend and stay safe.

    Spiros (@fiveten), I totally missed this build. Thanks for the info on the masking. I have this kit in my garage, so I need to go back and catch up on your build.

    Your Jake Is a masterpiece. You’ve put an impressive extra amount of work into this kit and it really shows. Jake sure looks an awful lot like it could be the Arado 196’s Japanese cousin. Looking forward to your headlines post.

    I must have been out buying ice-cream when this one passed the finish line?

    Well done!
