    @airbum- in terms of mm thickness, what do you consider "medium"?

    Looks great, Eric. I will save some superlatives for the headlines section but let me just say it has been a pleasure following this build. Your care and patience with the fine details and overall finish really shine through in the final result. I love the look of the camo and the intricacy of the turboprops (little models in themselves). I will have to join the crowd you and Tom inspired and build one of these Kinetic Pucaras one day. Thanks for sharing.

    This is another addition to your amazing builds, Eric @eb801
    A beautiful aircraft with a awesome scheme.
    It definitely deserves to be presented on the headlines.
    Looking forward to that.

    Sorry if I confused my self Eric. Uschi van der Rosten has 3 thicknesses, namely "Standard", "Fine" and "Superfine" it is the "Fine" that I consider their medium. On their website they do not state thicknesses, but they do say that the "fine" is for antenna-wire in 1/48. It is that one I usually use for antennas in 1/48 too. Hope that helps @eb801?

    @airbum - That's ok. Fine is what I used and after I looked at my photos now post on headlines, it looks fine and is just right after all. But I do think for a plane this size I would like to troy "Standard". I like this thread way better than E-Z Line don't you?

    Eric, @eb801
    This one looks wonderful. I have enjoyed the build journal and now it has been completed and posted in the headlines section I will definitely stop by and leave a nice comment about it. I have not made any comments during the construction, but I have been lurking around watching your progress. You have done a magnificent job with it.
