Thanks Spiros! I knew you would know the purpose of those vanes. I enjoy the scratchbuilding process immensely. I am sure your Canuck is going to get some TLC soon. I am very impressed with your Victor and F-16 builds. I wish I was such a fast builder! Take care my friend and keep safe!

Thanks John. It's a labour of love that is testing my skill and patience to the limit. I want to get to the painting stage but I can't rush the scratchbuilding. It is going to look stunning once painted!

Thank you Adrian. I appreciate the nice comment. This is the first model I have built that requires so much scratchbuilt details. It is a model that is not often seen on competition tables so it needs lots of TLC, patience and literally blood, sweat and tears to get it to be a suitable contender in a model competition. Needless to say, I enjoy it very much.

Thank you Erik. Having followed your Bf / Me 109 build I know that you also put a lot of effort into your builds . I think all modelers see it as a labour of love. I myself are very new to scratchbuilding and have never before attempted scratchbuilding so many details. I have to thank you and all the other modelers that commented on this build for your positive inputs and motivation. Without you guys edging me on I would not have come this far. Thank you!

Thank you very much Tom! Turning a toy like model kit, devoid of any worthwhile details, into a decent representation of the Canuck has been a great learning curve in extensive scratchbuilding. There are so many great modelers on this site, like yourself, that inspired me to go the extra mile.

Thanks George! I am particularly proud of the engine. It will look nice once painted! Hopefully the end result will be pleasing to look at.

Those pictures do show a lot of details, Morne @mornem
For sure that with your skills you will provide us with even more fantastic results.
I hope your mother will get well soon.

Thank you George! If only my skills were that good! I will have to add more details to the engine to cover most of what can be seen on the photos. Hopefully once painted some of the minor errors will not be too obvious!
