P47 nearly done. It hasn't improved my outlook on wingy things. Sorry for 1st cuppa shakes.

Antenna wire broke loose, but much better pic.

Now for the 42,000 little decals that you won't be able to see at this scale. Can't get over how excellent the panel detail is.

Paul,
Looking good mate, I'm not a wingy person either but it looks good to me.

Bootyful.......keep in mind Sir, at low alt. and low speed you'll need to keep an eye on yer cylider head temp gage.....those big 3350's need a little more cowl flap open to keep cool........

That is a nice dio JR. of particular interest are the two little models on the display next to this one......do you have any info on those? They appear to be "sub" braille scale Sir.

Getting very close to done. Kudos to Academy on these decals, just excellent. C&Cs encouraged.

Very nicely done Paul......bit of weather after the sealer coat and she'll be ready for action! :thumb2:

Hi Paul

In answer to your question about the dio scale, it didn't actually say but at the time I thought it was braille scale...1/72 or 1/76.

Below is my picture from a slightly different angle.

ATB.

Gave up on antenna wire. The rudder is too thin for my smallest (80) bit to get a bite. DullCote applied. Put away till another day.
