Looking good. I've seen her in person, it's a beauty of a bird.

Thanks guys, for all of the comments on the work. It was a pretty long road, but we're more than happy with the results.

No, they kinda slapped them together. When there's a war to fight, cosmetics didn't take priority.

What work did they let you do?


I did alot of learning for the most part. I learned alot about painting, which is what I wanted to learn. The only handy-work that you will see from me is the antenna's, which were previously white, I painted them blue (they're in the middle of the blue wing stripe). I mixed alot of the paint for the gear doors and the clear-coat as well...

And thanks for the comments on the pictures themselves, I appreciate it!

Trey
