David, a Google search shows there were a whole squadron of Pedros - I think you want Pedro 17?

The aircraft I want to build is the one included with the kit, Pedro 15 with the memorial to the Scottie dog mascot on the fin.

Shame to read that this one is a DNF, and let down by something that no one predicted, typical. Better luck with the next one, at least we have all learnt lessons from your ability to "tame the Roden".

A valiant effort David.

Not many modellers have tamed this kit. :sad:

Despite not getting quite done, I consider your build a success and learned a lot for when I unpack my Roden 111 some day.

So very near. The construction all done, but beat by decals. I hope you can get the decals you want soon and you can get this finished when you have the time, and not let it become a shelf-queen.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
