Congrats on your finishing it Toshi.Drinks  I loved the pics of it in the snow, it looks so at home in those scenes.  

 

Thank you scottrc!  I had to hurry to get the snow pics done.  A few hours later, a decent size snow storm occurred!  LOL!

Well done.

You know, it's a funny thing. There's craft, there's skill, there's knowledge of detail.

And then there's a result where you look at it and say "that just looks like an airplane".

You have all of the former under control, but it's the hardest to get to the latter.

Well done, well done.

 

 

 

 


I think Mr. Morrison summed it up completely.

 

Thank you sir!

She turned out great Toshi! I swear you've made more progress in the last couple of years than I did in ten! 

 

Arigato Gamera!  Your words are too kind.  My inspiration comes from members builds like yours!

Hi Toshi! Absolutely superb job. That Z shaped decal would scare the heck out of me, but all of your decal work is fantastic. Congratulations on the completion of another project! Dwayne
 

Thank you ManCityFan!  That decal was harrowing at best!  LOL!  I don't think all of my decal work is fantastic but thank you for the very kind words.  I want to thank you for your read and replies!

Oh, no worries.

I don't fancy myself anything special as a modeler, but I've learned that you can't beat the kit, but it can beat you. This is a good kit, although i can see a bunch of strange little glitches like the whole cockpit slope/ alignment, and the way the tail cone is set, the overall quality of the model build beats that.

You might try another airliner. They never are at Hobby Lobby, but there's plenty online.

Like a 737, in Aloha colors.

 

My uncle flew for Hawaiian Airlines.  He had models everywhere.  My favorite was the B-52.  I remember all kinds of airliners at his house particularly Hawaiin.  It was he whom inspired me in my youth.

You know, it's a funny thing. There's craft, there's skill, there's knowledge of detail.

And then there's a result where you look at it and say "that just looks like an airplane".

You have all of the former under control, but it's the hardest to get to the latter.

Well done, well done.

 

 

WOW, GMorrison, I am extremely humbled by your kind words sir!  I don't know what to say except thank you very much!
