Thanks PJ. The decal sheet showed a greener shade of blue, but went with that because I couldn't get a mix that matched that well to the callout.

LOL, guess some witches can be sexy too Embarrassed

Thanks BK, wingspan is just over 17" with the tip floats up, length is 10 1/2". Figure what, a third bigger, in 1/48? Got the Academy "Black Cat" in the stash..That one will be done with floats up/gear down.

Was planning on eventually putting this one on water/dock scene, but that's way down the line.

Appreciate it gentlemen. For an old kit was pretty clean molding with minimal flash and sinkholes/ejector pin marks.
