Thank you Gents for the comments, took the masks off the front canopy and rear fuselage window's. The right side of the canopy lifted, so some repair work there. Finished off some oil work on the wing vents. 👍🥸🤘🥸🤟🥸✊

I don't believe that minor ailment should mean abandoning at all... You'd be crazy to do that mate! I think your build still looks epic 👍 But you really must change your intro picture!! 😁 🙂👍

Thanks Neil. As you can see, I completed the build (yay!😁) Which picture? The box art or the self pitying missive that accompanies the completed build. 🤘😅🤟🥸👍

Yes seen. It looks FAB!... You can update the 'Teaser' image, when you update/manage an album... Only a suggestion of course... Please tell me to but out matey, imo it'd showcase your build better - which looks all good to me - no self pity either! 😉

Discounting the rear fogging you pointed out, it's a beautiful build - you should be proud of it.

I think it looks very effective Mark, the pilot is very realistic and the plane has great weathering effects. 👍

Album info

Tamiya 1:48 in the US Navy Pacific Tricolour Scheme, depicting a Jolly Roger from VF17 on board the USS Bunker Hill. Engine wired, Primer done. Trying masking fluid for chipping effect, free handed the camo' first time (also on the Tiger too) quite a bit of overspray, but I think it turned out alright. Begun the weathering, may not use the masking fluid again, but stick to the hairspray method. The exhausts are positioned wrong (but I am doing it in flight and will position it so I don't see my abherrent mistake, so there Har, Har) and the pitot tube is not stock as the carpet monster ate it.

The Wife Chose it, She likes the colour scheme.
