    A most eye catching paint job they had. They must be tiny in that scale Paul. What is the wingspan on those?

      4 3/4" Tiny indeed. Just slightly smaller than the P51's 5 1/8"

    Wow! tiny but hopefully perfectly formed ?

    Thanks for the info on the distinctive paint job. I was thinking that it was poor camo but it all makes perfect sense now ?

    Geoff.

      Nicely detailed.

    These two will be "bounced" by two P51s or two P47s, whichever pair comes out best.

        Looks like your mastering the tiny beasts. As Scottie said the poor instructions and lack of location points will be something you can cope with with your experience.

          Some more progress. I miss locators that work, but soldier on. Click image for larger version

            Somehow I missed this build Paul. Very brave to take on something so small.

              Thanks guys. Ready for camo. Sensors & cannon go on last.
              This my scale so not the prob. Makers paying attention in this scale is usually the issue, to say nothing about sparse to no instructions. Build sequence would be the most helpful as it prevents 'redos' where no locators make easy test fits difficult.

                      They'll certainly stand out Paul. Looking good
