Looking fine Mick. That masking putty is funny stuff but works well.

Thanks Jim, it certainly is weird stuff when you first open the tin, I’ve only tried white tac before

Looking good Mick and like the putty too.

Keep up the good work.

Andrew

Thanks Andrew, clear coat on and drying

Thanks Tony, these things really are too small Just one 1/72 kit left for the Japanese GB

Brown 6 complete, not a bad little kit and a couple of new things tried during the build. I’ll take some more pics when it stops raining

Turned out very nicely Mick.

Looks like you've got the same stands I have just bought... Displays the plane at a slight angle...up or down, depending on which way round you do it? How did you find them?

ATB.

That's a great result Mick. It's a lovely kit. Stand sets it off well.

Thank you Andrew. The stand works really well but I had to modify the top where it connects to the aircraft. The block is way too big and would require a large hole in the underside. I removed the lug and added a pin instead

Thanks for that Doug, not a hard scheme to paint up. I do like it

Thanks. I'll bear it in mind for the future!

Uhh Mick, I thought you were building a North & South Dakota? I just saw this and you are already done. Great looking build my friend and I guess it only took about 3 hours, huh? Great camo finish and the decals look tops too. How long do you think the antenna wire will stay intact with you playing with it???...Or is that why you put it on the stand...

Prost

Hi Allen, you guessed it, the stand to stop me flying it around the house with my spitfire chasing it. I've just updated my Dakota build, one completed and delivered to my pal and mine is now clear coated ready for a bit of weathering.
Take care

Can't see 1/72 well these days , so agree there Mick . The only trouble is the size they take up in 1/35 .
