I'm waiting to see how you deal with painting the prop blades. This looks pretty involved on the OV-10D (one reason I didn't start that one), in a very small area.

Lovely work already on this one. Got this same example in the stash for years now and never dared to start work on it.

It looks like a small final push and you'll be there. It'd be nice to get another finisher soon.

(Looks great, by the way!)

Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been job hunting, I plan on working on the Bronco today so will have it finished before the GB ends.

I had a glitch today.

When I removed the tape that was holding down the canopy, it lifted both the US markings from the side of the cockpit, so I’m classing this as finished for the GB and will add the remaining decals and weapons when I hunt down some spares decals for the ones I damaged.

Top work on that one, Splash. Great finish.

Seeing this, makes me want to pull out mine from the stash as well. Top Job!

Splash,

That looks really great! Sorry about the last minute glitch, but I'm sure you'll sort it in due course.
