Looking very nice...the paint job looks sharp! Can't wait until she is finished 

Thanks Hunter, still pluging along !

40.mm: she's going to look good once you start chipping-nice work!

Sorry, I was out car shopping most of yesterday and spend a good bit of today napping.

Thanks Gamera

Brake lines and some touck up paint and its good to go

If the decals give me fits i have a back up plan !

Prop done

Looking every cool, the prop esp came out great. 

I keep saying one day I'll try the circle templates for Hinomaru but always end up using decals. 

Man, 40.mm, you are not missing a beat! Great job! Looking forward to seeing how you apply the hair spray technique! I agree with Cliff, the prop looks fantastic.

Well sir, job very well done! What an excellent build and well detailed aircraft. I have enjoyed watching you build this kit and have picked up a few tips in the process. Again, GREAT JOB! 

Thanks Hunter . I had lots of mistakes but i enjoyed this build . My lighting and photogrphy leave a lot to be desired . When the weather clears up ill take some shots in natural lighting, maybe they will be better.

She looks pretty darn good to me! I haven't tried chipping and weathering an aircraft that much but I think you nailed it. 

I'm guessing you want to wait to take the new photos before I post her? 

PS: The guy I asked about doing the badge sent me a rough shot of it the other day. He's just got to put in the details now. 

40.mm,

This build really turn out very well! The chipping is exceptional! Great job!
