| Took some pics outside, but the light was falling so better pics will be comin.... Gettin all the gadgets squared away... Antenna wire needs to be secured to the mast, as there were so many variations of the antenna configuration that I made a decision... Got the doors and support arms done for the gun bay, dash of cockpit and sight completed, re-stainnig and weathering about done, underside as well with the exhaust stains.... Tomorrow should be able to have her done and some final pics up, if not, Sunday for sure.....

| The canopy looks sweet Dan it's those little things that make a big difference I usually like to go after the gunsight myself just did not have the time on the Zero.I think you might be right on the stains a little to black if chalks try a lighter gray then a dark gray and see how it looks.Hey Dan when out at the Hobby shop yesterday they had fliers for a model club at West Biloxi Library on the 3rd Monday @ 6 pm of each month IPMS chapter at that could be interesting maybe.The group is Red Flag Scale Modelers /Gulf Coast Chapter website is RFSM.NET.Cheers Kevin

| I would agree about the .50 cal. exhaust stains, and (I may be wrong here) the flaps look a little too drooped , but Dan... FIRST CLASS WORK MATE!  I love this bird even more than your Fw 190D-9, and that's saying something. |
