Thanks guys!
@Villiers & @Robert, yup, this F2A will be painted as during the short time of late 1940 to early 1941 when they were in between the wars Yellow Wings full glorious color… before they went into the low visibility overall Light Gray.

Coming right along 👍 Nice yellow too, tough color to get right. At least I have trouble getting it to cover well, nicely done.

Thanks John. It took three layers to get the wings properly yellow: white primer, followed by flat insignia yellow, then gloss chrome yellow. Lots of depth in there.

I could only repeat all the well deserved praises. Looks great!

@Neuling, Robert, Vincent, Guy, Michael, and SM, thank you for your kind words!
SM, you caught me! 😉 I actually did not glue the tail wheel in place for painting purposes, only pressed it into its spot, and it shifted during the photo session!

Thank you Rui. It's a fun kit, even if a bit old now.
