    An unusual subject, Erik.

    Great to see how you got everything fit together so nicely.

    This one came out exceptionally well, Erik (@airbum). It was fun following along on such an unusual build. You need to start stocking up with the parts to build the next one.

    Thank you for all the kind words gentlemen.

    Louis (@lgardner), You are most welcome to ask, I may just have a book with the proper information 🙂
    Spiros (@fiveten), I do my best
    John (@JohnB) this was one of the easiest resinconversions ever - just remove stuff along panellines and add the resin parts. Highly recommended if anyone wants something a bit different for thair collection.
    George, (@gblair), it was fun to build too. Parts for another go are in store, but a lot of other kits are first in line.

    Even though I am generally pleased with the outcome, the search for additional material continues so that I might be able to make a more accurate cockpit at a later date. Sadly I'm back at work, but the sun will emerge on a day off again for some proper shots of the model.

    Sunshine

    Today the sun was out

    I had a spot of lunch, prepared to go out to take a few pictures. When I opened the door the sun dissapeared



    Well, now I had prepared, and these pictures were taken. I broke off the pitot in the process, glued it back on and had my Coffee. To my joy the sun had come out again, and off I went.

    Now, if you want to see the next pictures it will be over in Headlines soon! 🙂

    What a great finish, my friend @airbum!

    It was a joy to having followed your thread: I really loved it!

    So, not only you came up with an excellent model, but with a fantastic build thread, as well: full of nice comments and modeling hearted talks!

    Well done, once more, my friend!

    I have already commented on the headlines 🙂

    P.S. To reassure the sunlight availability, you may visit us here in Greece to take pics of your models!
