Nice, really nice, great work Tyler.

A great paint job. and the base you have put it on - a wooden flight deck ? - sets it off to a tee.

Tony.

thanks Mossie, but its not an actual wood deck, its a paper-like base i bought from verlinden

If my memory is working WW2 U.S. carriers had wooden flight decks, so this is entirely appropiate, it works, and thats enough.

Looks like you have done a nice job on the bare metal Finnish. I am doing a mustang and I hope it turns out with the bare metal finnish. I like the creativity of doing something different.
