Thanks!it did go quickly and the brass tubing was a good solution to the lack of wheel wells or engines. The aftermarket metal landing gear by Scale Aircraft Conversions are outstanding and a really nice addition to the kit.

In light of the fact that the fuse large halves have a distinct step(error on my part)I have elected to paint it like my Buccaneer.Sea Green over white like the old  Dinky diecast planes of yore...

This is looking good, Phil. In fact, really impressive.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
