This was not as bad of kit as many forum posters would have you believe. I am not about accuracy so >>>>Looks like a Skyhawk to me. Really cool markings Comments always welcome Bill

Thank You guys for the comments Appreciated Bill

Here are some photos of a Texan built to present to a friend of mine whose father is in the back seat. The kit was out of Box and I used Alclad for the the finish. Left all those wonderful rivets proud. Cheers Actual Photo MonogramModel Ignore Seam...My rush for completion Comments always welcome Bill

Very Nice work Gil...I do question that Pink background Nice Bill

Myself and a few other Guys in Black from Pittsburgh. Arrive Wednesday

Thanks for the compliments Guys This aircraft goes way into lessons learned. I did have a passion for the project and thats what keeps me involved. Thanks again for the comments and next project is 1/72nd scale. Cheers Bill

She is Finished and what a LARGE plane this is I am in the process of writing a build article Comments are welcome Thanks for viewing

The Beat Goes On.. Few little details I like MV Lenses for Formation lights after boring out the raised bumps in the plastic Futured Aircraft. The red looks discolored but it is not, just weird photo effects The black will be Alclad in the engine area...Painted the black then Futured it .We will see PS This is a LARGE aircraft in 48th Cheers Bill

Thanks Guys Yes it is the Monogram Kit, and includes all its challenges plus the resin pieces also. This is not a Shake and bake........More like a Hope and Pray. First coat of primer showed some serious challenges. More updates may take awhile. Cheers Bill

I was stationed at Galena for a year and I saw this photo and had the Encore Kit. New project From the start I am not concerned about Case XX vs Case X wings. This from Galena Alaska Some Resin Challenges Notice the Gap between resin and Plastic Very Nice Seat Very Nice Photo Etched Instruments Main body Will update as progress allows Thanks for viewing Bill

Nice Kit, Super Decals, Simple paint scheme Life is Good Comments Welcome Thanks for viewing

Thanks Guys The final finish was a Satin Lacquer from Testors. More flat than gloss but ended with a good finish. Future was way to glossy for 1/72nd Thanks Again

I have completed the 1/72nd Scale Revell of Germany Mirage 2000 in Tiger markings. Nice and simple build Large decal on spine was the biggest challenge. Comments welcome Thanks for Looking

Looking cool I look forward to seeing your bracing wire work..Those have kept me away from trying this kit Good Luck

The edging was rolled "Blue Tak" putty and filled in with tape to avoid overspray. I felt in this scale the edges should lean toward the harder side. In the process of decals underneath first to test the decals and sludge-wash for some of the great panel details. Photos later. Thanks for Asking

Thanks Gil This is a 1/72nd Scale Mirage...Very Nice kit with very few faults

Thanks Guys The Paint project is nice . I wish i didn't have to continue,I can only go downhill. The paint and Future came out REALSmooth I wish I could stop while I'm ahead Thanks for Looking Bill

Just a simple Out of Box project. At the Painting step Construction was very easy ,only a few challenging seams but otherwise no issues Comments welcome

Absolutely. Love the look of this bird. NICE job! Thanks for the Compliments

Thanks for the compliments Gil I have to say the support from guys like yourself helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Cheers
