Great stuff as always - some major mod's on the prince will see it come out in the expected shape.

Prince --------- too much sprue glue softens the plastic and it shrinks, more patience needed ! some ribbing restored and modified on the rudder.
Vengeance ---------- some interior green in the undercarriage bays !

That is a nice trick to visualize the ribbs, Allan @kalamazoo
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years, 4 months ago:

Yep, I know the sprue glue shrinking, my friend @kalamazoo!
Nice ribbing technique!
Great look of the interior green at the gear doors and bays!

Those propellor blades are masked very well, Allan @kalamzoo
Nice progress on both.

Great progress on those beauties, my friend @kalamazoo!
Erik Gjørup said 2 years, 4 months ago:

I suppose the interior green on the prince qualifies as a heavenly green? (sorry - it is still early here) but that bad joke aside, nice progress! I am always impressed with your frame paintings and the later cleanup resulting in nice and sharp canopies.
