Well all the decals are on and the only thing that is left is exhaust and canopy filling and some fiddle bits. So I leave you with a teaser, more of less the "essence" of snuffy!

Great pic paul, the chipping looks like it was meant to be there, just so "together" and in a straight-line it looks like it was done on purpose!

Thanks Maglar, I actually would like to see more aircraft to look war weary. Perfect aircraft are nice to look at but this also shows just what a combat aircraft after many missions really looked like. Well done!!!

Well I haven't built a model in 20 something years but I can give you this suggestion. Take your time and don't rush. Its no different then researching. Rushing things wont find what you are looking for but patients can often be rewarding.

Here my exhaust.., Too much is an easy phrase for this, I did mix some colors in there. Used pastels, what a nice recovery, might go add some more.

You know Mag that is really starting to look the part.When you first started your chipping I thought it was overkill but the more Paul digs the more it becomes apparent I was wrong.These 61's look like they wasted paint as good as any Japanese aircraft would.Keep up the good work and the exhaust is looking pretty good.Cheers Kevin

Looking good Mag....by the way that P-61 with all the paint off in nice neat patterns is where tape has been applied over joints for shipping and then removed after delivery.
