This one is a real Pig, but I am having fun building it. I think it is the only game in town in 1/48 except for the old KP and Esci kits. Which I have one of each.

Thank you very much Roland, Augie. Welcome Neil. @ Roland, yes it is very soft. It makes sanding easy though. The airframe is complete and ready for primer. I will be quite busy this weekend so no bench time untill next week.

I don't want to miss this one. I have this exact kit. Poor thing is sitting in the box half done for years. Can't wait to see yours.

I put a wash on it, which faded them some. I may do some post-shading. I applied the matte coat today, after it cures for 24 hrs I am going to do some oil paint weathering.

Thank you very much Roland. Yes landing gear is installed and all weapons, except for the 500kg bombs are installed. Just final ssembley and weathering to go.

Finally finished this one this evening, I have surgery in the morning. So I will try and get the finished pictures up Saturday, depending on how I am feeling.

Thank you all very much for your kind words and best wishes, I am home and doing well. Just sore, I had a new pacemaker put in, so have to be careful how I move my left arm and such. I did get some bench time today.

That's some great work there Clifford. I like the addition of the ladder. Great inspiration to pull out my unfinished kit.
