Really impressive build, David.
Just saw it on the headlines.
Thanks for sharing the building progress in this thread as well as on your own website.

Thanks for taking me along for the ride, David. The Neptune turned out great.

Must have been a relief when you got the message that all arrived without any issue.
She looks great.

Great tribute to someone who used to fly. I am getting ready to move to a new house and dreading the packing of all of my models. I don't have the time to pack all of my models as securely as you did for this one, so I am trying to figure out something quick but safe for packing. We are moving 2 hours from our current house, so I figure I can probably drive them to our new house myself rather than trust the movers to do it.

One last update - The client presented it to his Father. Afterwards he left this comment on my blog:

“Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort on this. My father was incredibly surprised and even more excited to receive his plane. He immediately noticed the antenna you added and many of the other details you so expertly crafted into this. We spent the entire weekend talking about his time in the Navy, the squadron, and of course the plane itself. You helped make this a very special Father’s day. “

It was an honor to build this for a fellow veteran and having a Father and son to spend a special weekend together after being apart for a period of time due to pandemic situation.

It is really amazing when your work is an inspiration, like your case here, my friend @davids_models.
Well done!
