The photo has been made some days ago. I hope to finish with Aquilon till the end moment groupbuild. Here right now I process the stabilizer (these small "ears" outside), it is necessary to do some panels lines, apply mask on canopy, make little details. Tonight, or tomorrow I'll paint a kit.

Building moves to end. There are certain difficulties with decals (numbers and flotille letters), but it not a vital problem on the general background.

Novokits,

Good progress!

I think the aircraft really suits that navy blue colour scheme, and I'm impressed by the canopy framing. Keep the updates coming!

regards,

Martin

What colour did you use for the French navy blue?

Great achievement my friend. I like this kit a lot and now you've got an Aquilon which has never been kitted.

Well done on a great finish, it look brilliant in the dark blue colour scheme.
