Some one asked  "Rodney !! Is the model finished on the bottom (underside)?  "You be the Judge."

The I.D. #'s were found on some old "Micro-Scale" decal sheets.  The antenna wire is made by using 4-strands of women's black nylon panty hose threads.

Little squares were cut out of black decal film, then applied to a big white decal to make the checkered pattern.  Seem's like the test pilot "Don Armstrong" would not fly a plane without some checkered pattern on it some where. 




Soon, I'll shoot some digital images of all my masters, and cast resin
parts, and inform everybody of what I want to finish before I go to Samoa
later this year.

Yeah!  the model won "First-Place."

Happy Modeling

Rodney

P.S.  Thanks to all of you, that have sent me emails on the 4-part F2G story.
