Excellent. I think the finish is terrific, James. Great representation of metal panels.

That bare metal looks amazing, James. What a wild looking little aircraft!

James, that looks fantastic! It looks so good it made me swear out loud, as in 'That's freaking* brilliant!', which did get me some odd looks from others in the room.....
I am so impressed that I want to do one myself, but a quick look on Hannants web site and the price made me wince a bit.
Top work fella and well worth all the effort.

PS. Sorry James, I have a question. Did it require any nose weight? Doesn't look like it would, but just wondered.

Re: Anigrand 1/72 HP 115 **FINISHED**
Thanks for the kind comments.
No Zee I don't think I did ( I would have balanced tested the dry fitted parts) but there is plenty of room in the nose if a little was required. I agree about the price, resin kits seem to be priced by weight and a 'basic' Anigrand kit can cost the same as something as beautifully refined as Karaya flying boat. However I snafu'd this 2nd hand from a book seller at SMW a couple of years ago for ~£15Zee28 wrote:PS. Sorry James, I have a question. Did it require any nose weight?

That's absolutely amazing work you've done there James!
I've been following your build on and off since you started and your patience and perseverance astounds me.
You've done a brilliant job and the shading in the paint on your natural metal finish is second to none, well done.

Sorry but I missed this being finished! That is a super finish - very convincing panel variation, and super extra details added. I do not know this kit, but you have turned something which was obviously pretty basic into a little gem.
