Rick. Yes your crystal ball failed lol. I guess I was fearing to cut the right side panel it was very tricky.

Applied the decals and installed the prop. Now on to the canopy

Good bit of progress there Lee. Rick H.

I painted and installed the canopy today. I went to paint it the paint did not match as before so I had to remove the decals and repaint the whole thing. I added the front wheel also.

Looking good Lee :smiling3:.

Well I’m calling this one done I will post outside completed pictures later. The main reason I built this plane was to add this vintage MPC Mechanic I colored his wrench with a graphite pencil and also gave him a final MiG wash for a grease look

That's looking good, esp with the mechanic in that position on the wing. Just shows what can be achieved with an old model Lee , well done buddy .

Lee,
you don't believe in making things easy for yourself, do you? The Revell Airacobra dates back to 1965 - I was in short trousers at junior school!

John. Thanks for the complement I finally got it done after a year it was very fun and your right if you put forth the effort with an old kit you can turn into a nice turn out

[Mini Me]

Never let it be said that Lee Drennen is a quitter. Glad you finally got it done and the "Grease Monkey" is a nice touch. Rick H.
