Thanks Robert and Co., this may be a slow burn, so forgive me a meander on this one?….

Robert, you are Mr. Motivator on here!! always enjoy you turning up at my builds!
bughunter: to have a kind comment from a "Master"- nay Wizzard, such as you is a pleasure. We're all stretching our skills sets on here, I guess, on every build we do.

You're doing a great job. 👍 I know from my own experience that large scales (1:32, 1:24 ...) do not forgive mistakes. I am very curious to see the finished model. I'm sure it will be a beauty.

Thanks Ludvík, I'm hoping my patreon will enjoy it too. There are a few mistakes, sure, but I'll try and hide them with some weathering.

Looks awesome! (Your build inspired me to purchase AviModels Bird Dog in 1/72... 😉 )

I liked what you did with the masks during the build, but with all the final additions it's even better 👍

@bughunter - they were tricky and a reasonably new technique for me… and worthy of these larger scales. I hope to perfect them - similar to those on your builds..you're quite an inspiration!

Thanks Rui, David and Michael- not a scale or model brand I'm used to. Think it worked well in the end, and I managed to try some new techniques.
