Looks like my 3-4 hour estimate was way too high!

It looks like you are on short finals with this one Jeff.

And will call this one done.

I am finding that the Academy kits make good Blitz fodder. But it would be best to source your decals before hand and also how you come to grips with the thick canopies that make the open position not look right.

So I have done the Corsair (liked that one best) The Hellcat and P-40 (both tied for second).

Thanks for watching along and the glamour shots will be posted later.

Cheers.

Oh and one last musical interlude as we fade to ether-space.

Sorry I missed the latter stages of this Jeff. What a finish, that looks really excellent, a top bit of blitzing and, I might add, some pretty cool tunes along the way 8-)
