Excellent work so far!  Only 9 more to go after this one!

On the 357th checkered cowl, you going to paint that?  I had a problem with the decal when I did my -B version as a 357th bird.  Ended up having to hand paint the checkered pattern after the decal refused to lay down and then decided to break apart.

Thanks for the advice.  I havn't even thought about that.  Looks like I might be painting it.

Cheers

Thanks guys.  I didn't get much work done today.  I have to turn a 30mm bullet on my lathe for a neighbor who has an empty cartridge from an A-10.  I spent most of my day investigating and designing Catia what the bullet will look like.  Should be fun.

And excellent start. The pit looks great with the seat being the star. 

A couple of good AM things to consider.  Ultracast prop w/hub # 48081 and flaps #48139.

Rob,

Looks great so far. I've built this kit and also used Eduard's PE for the front office. You can't go wrong with this combo.

Look forwarding to following your progress.
