Canada did not have many twin engine yellow birds.

Not many yellow bird left on my list. I originally I was going to do a 1/32 scale eversion, but decided against it due to size.

Moving along slowly. Fuselage and wings are glued and have to be filled and sanded. Engines are js just test fitted and having rocker arm blisters attached. Decals have been printed.

In the paint shop. Ribbing effect on wings and fuselage turned out better than first anticipated.

 Excellent rib effect.

Well Done.

Wonderful work. The ribbing, especially down the fuselage looks great!

[lastvautour]

Thank you Gordon. I need some narrower stuff but I can't seem to find any.
