    This paint scheme is perfect, Spiros (@fiveten). It almost looks like a manta ray. Looking forward to the finishing touches.

    Hi everyone!


    Decals applied.
    Painted the "exhaust nozzle" area burnt metal.
    Wheel wells, landing gear and intake trunking were painted Testors Steel.

    Great camo scheme, @fiveten.
    It puts me in mind of one of these...

    Wow! I had no idea of that scheme, Michael @michaelt! And looks almost identical!
    Similar approaches to camoing?
    I am deeply amazed...
    Thanks for posting!

    This is really turning out nicely, Spiros (@fiveten). Hopefully the vac canopy won't be an issue. Looking forward to the end of the build.

    Standing on her feet


    Main gear legs are modified M2000 ones, as the kit ones were weak. NLG is the kit provided one, as well as the nice resin wheels:

    Detail painting of the LG is needed, as I left a lot of areas unpainted to reassure solid bonds with the cyano I used.
    Looks interesting, standing on her legs!
    A good posture, may I say?

    I will try to wrap things up and prioritize her, in order to:

    1. Finish and possibly admire her.
    2. Reduce the number of "in work" projects (wishful thinking...it will be a similar saga to the SoD number saga...)
