You’re off to a great start! Are you going to use the kit markings, or do some sort of contemporary “what if?” scheme?

This is excellent Blacksheep! Nice job masking the canopies too.

Well crap! I'm on a slow down. Weather (that white stuff called snow), son's sick - took him to urgent care this morning, and pre-holiday honey to dos. Hopefully, I'll get back on the bench very soon. :bored:

All in good time. We can get to this hobby when life grants us the proper free time.

No rush! Just don't take a six month break like I did!

Hey, it happens to the best and worst of us. Take care of family first, I'll be praying for your son's swift and full recovery. We'll wait for your next update; your work is always worth waiting for.

During my lunch hour, I managed to throw a coat of white primer on the topside wings for the yellow. More to follow...
