Rivets galore. Decals almost done. Just need to place the red numerals and letters over the white ones. The rear canopy is a poor fit when closed so I'll probably have it semi open.

Really like the colors Toby. This is shaping up nicely.

The 'Diver looks strangely appealing in FAA colours. Yet another proof of Martin's fourth law of modelling: Anything looks good in the Temperate Sea Scheme!

Finished. Not overly happy with it. The rear canopy was a pig to get right and in the end I just wanted in done.

That turned out well. Looks really different in FAA colours. Looks like you managed to preserve every rivet too!
