A nice smooth finish on this one. This green went down sweet everywhere it went.


The letters were painted and the decal rests on white registration mark to make it bright.
I did make a very simple mistake: this tri-foil is on the wrong wing (I think).
I have the decal or vinyl mask for you to make the fix should you choose.
Otherwise, it is easily passed over.


Here is how small the support hole is -about the same as the triangle decal.
I've always meant to switch out the toothpick for a piece of brass. I will put a piece fo brass in the pkg if you buy it.


I offset the two bulb decals above the antenna hole. The antenna itself is a clever piece of plastic.
The window decals are included for you to place on..



Another smooth finish across the entire piece. The crown was one of the best assembly parts to do.
The 20lb test loops inside the resin with a lighter 8lb test running to the ceiling.
I drilled the same points as the studio did, but they used piano wire. Each of 3 lines is 8lb test. The model weighs 8lbs. Good odds.
The model has hung from my ceiling for 1.5 yrs and there has been no bending in the neck, nor damage or wear at the aft points.


Again, a very small hole. The original had small round points at these position which attached to piano wire.


Looks like a tiny nick forward of the tri-foil.


These two show more nice finish everywhere.



However, nearly two years ago, I could not solve this problem at all.
Now, I know exactly how I would avoid it from the start.
This is also why I am not asking $700 for this build.
The red decal near the radiator is not damage, but makes it look weird.


The above photo was the worst light angle I could find to show the area off as bad as possible.
It is invisible from many angles, and diminished in others.



Looks like a nick on the radiator front.
Nowadays, another easy fix for me (thanks to JWLaRue's WiP thread. and again, why I'm not asking for bigger $.
