Here is my finished aircraft for Lee's 'Mustang' G.B.

Thanks to Lee for suggesting the G.B.

A great, no issue kit. All freehand, brush painted using Vallejo Model 'Air' Acrylics.

Looks like wonky wheels. It's just the camera angle - Honest!

Nice finish Ron. The few Academy kits I've built have always been decent builds.

Chuffed you approve, young Dave.

I have it in mind to snip off the undercarriage and prop. blades and get the missus into 'Chucking mode', but seeing as o'w the pilot is absent, there is another option... ;)

Ron that’s a beautiful bird! Great pics of it as well. I appreciate you participating in this GB we all was glad to have you. Also congratulations on the Dawgs award that was handed out by the race towers which is very hard to achieve.
