I thin it with acetone and it helps a lot

Well it certainly works for you !

I don't want to sound like I'm putting the product down,lots of people use it to good effect as you've demonstrated above. I just find the Tamiya filler easier.

Cheers

This is looking a first class build as usual.I could learn a thing or two about detailing interiors from you Trey (see my Kingfisher!).

[Guest]

Steve thanks ,I'm going to get some Tamiya filler just to check it out. Dave thanks I'm still learning too!

I finally got all the seams filled after a second going over and got it in primer.There were some low spots(sinks) in the wings at the trailing edge that I missed and a few gaps to sort nothing major

I rescribed the panel lines

then sprayed the cammo, I could'nt find the recommended colors so mixed some up myself ,I think its close to being correct

the 193-6 is the scheme I went with

Thanks for all the positive comments and input from everyone its very much appreciated !

I finished it up in time for Memorial Day, I know its not an Allied aircraft but thats not the point of the build. I enjoy doing off the beaten path builds regardless of what side the combatants fought on . By all accounts this Aircraft was well liked by its crews and served with the Lebanese Air Force until 1959 . I hope all had a great Holiday weekend and enjoyed following this build

some 'in flight' shots

thanks for taking the time to look any and all comments welcome,Trey
