Yeah, she does look 'right' now, wish someone had pointed that out on mine!

Thanks, Gamera.  It's hard to catch errors in the kit-supplied directions.  I suppose we all mostly expect them to be accurate.

I appreciate all the feedback from you guys! I do jave another question though. On the R-2800, I've seen the mags the same color as the crankcase, and then I have seen them painted a satin black. Was there any rhyme or reason to the color?

Well, no one will probably dispute that.

That's an excellent diorama, B17Pilot.  The way you've arranged the figures and plane infuses a kind of tension into the scene.  You can sense the drama!  Nice work!

Man that is beautiful work! I might suggest some facepaint on the jumpers if it's not too late for you there... Not the Indian style warpaint of some photos,  but the more common blackening seen in  most pre jump photos from June 5th.

Absolutely fantastic work. You should be proud of the work you did.

Now that is a nice looking Dio 17, thanks for adding the pics.

Wow, how did I miss this!?!! Beautiful job there B17, love the C-47 but I think the figures are even better!!!

Kudos sir!!!

What can I say? I'm a slow builder. Anyhow, I thought I post an update that my P-47 Thunderbolt is ready for paint for the invasion stripes. Tonight, the painting and build will commence. LOL!

Good to see this back BlackSheep.
