I've finally had some time to work on this a little more. I still need to do some detail painting, pin wash, and final assembly, but it's getting close to the point where I can squirrel it away in my display cabinet. The landing gear on this kit is quite fiddly and there are no good positive location points. I did minimal weathering on them and the gear wells, a dirty brown wash. There are ejector pin marks in the gear doors, but I've had so much trouble putting this together that I just want to get it finished so I can return to my Hudson and HobbyBoss FJ Fury and F-4 Lightning projects.

Looks realy impressive already, Carl @clipper

Thanks Spiros (@fiveten), John (@johnb) and George (@gblair). I should be able to wrap up the Shooting Start in the next day or two and then I can move on to other projects.

George, I am going to be spending quite a bit of effort on the Hudson so I am doing some planning first so that I can get things done correctly. It will probably be awhile before I have anything worth posting.

Looks awesome on the headlines, my friend @clipper!

Not a big deal, my friend @clipper.
