Simply gorgeous Charles. Love the colors and the use of the stand. And thank you for helping me make up my mind. IF I ever win the lottery... then learn how to fly...I'm buyin' one of those.

And they aren't around any more I'll have someone help me build one. See y'all in Oshkosh... someday... maybe

Mucker, you turned a sow's ear into a silk purse.

Love the colour scheme, I can't call bright green and yellow a camo scheme!

THank you much Jere, Wayne, Mark, Rick, Frank, SC, Arki, Drew Marc, Karl:

Wayne: I used some brass wire that was in the stash. I was in a hurry to finish and forgot to paint some of them silver. THey are a tad on the thick side. In retrospect I should have taken a trip to the store to find a finer wire.

Arki: That was indeed a bad pun!

Marc: When you buy one I'll be looking for you at airshows!

Karl: The resin parts really make a big difference. Left by itself, the Lindberg kit is really sparse (although the fit is nice). What really grabbed me was the colorful scheme.

THanks again, everyone. I really appreciate the comments.

Nicely done, Charles! You've sent a message to any detractors out there, that the Lindberg kit is not a bad kit, it just takes a little more work.

Someday we should have a Goshawk group build...

Can you repost your images as for some reason they are not pulling up on photobucket.

Love your photos here of the completed project. If I am understanding this post correctly this is the 1/48 scale Lindberg Curtis Goshawk with added materials?

I am unable to locate the link for the Model Nerd resin and decals for this kit. Can you re-post it?

They are not showing up because this is an 11 year old post, and the OP probably pulled them off of Photobucket once they required payment to use....
