    Don’t know how I missed this Lee, cracking work on the restoration so far

      It’s been a while since I picked this build up. This morning I painted the inside of the landing gear and painted the canopy and added it. Next will be the wheels and I’m calling it done. Click image for larger version

            That's a keeper Lee. She'll look good on the shelf. :thumb2: Rick H.

                Hi Lee
                I thought Paul's ancient Airfix Dinah was geriatric but this is a couple of years older :tongue-out3: It has come out really well. As I said on Paul's thread it is nice to see these old kits actually built rather than just sit on a shelf.

                  Jim. 1963 was 5 years before my time. Yes I know these old kits are way below today’s standards but to me there just so fun to build and updating them with the new stuff that’s available. Beware you will see me building more of these Classic Gems. Thanks for the complement.

                    PUPPY!!..........as a young teenager I remember seeing that kit on the shelf at the local "Five and Dime". What was turning my head back then was all the AMT kits of Hot Rods and Custom Cars!.......not to mention a girl or two. :tongue-out:
