    Very nice, Tim. Love the FAA markings and the folded wing. Really sets the model apart.

    Cheers John. I think of them as the FAAs “don’t shoot me” markings. In the Atlantic theatre they had a normal roundel I think. The wingfold was a must in this case because it’s so different to any other aircraft. Also means it fits better in the cabinet LOL……

      Very kind Andy. As I said in the build log, it’s one of the few bits that didn’t have any problems during the build. Not putting it on a mirror base though, mostly because I don’t have one…..

          Came out really looking nice Tim. I like that it's not all dark navy blue with stars which makes it different.

          Cheers,

            Cheers Geoff. Glad you like it. Personally I’m not a fan of the scheme, love the aircraft itself though.

                  Tim,
                  That is a beauty mate. You have achieved a great build and finish mate.
