A decent airbrush weekend resulted in the main color getting on the Maggie.

It might seem that having got this far, I'd be sure to finish by the deadline. Actually it will be a near thing. I'm leaving later this week and out of town through the weekend, so I only have three evenings for the final bits and pieces. I guess I'll call it done if it gets close.

Final bits and touch-ups went okay, and this got done with a couple of days to spare before I leave town.

Thanks guys, it's a delightful easy kit to build, highly recommended. The blue, in case you wonder, is Testors Model Master Acryl French Blue which looks about right to me. I am tempted to pull out the Alpha Jet for the bright & cheery but I think I will probably do a Snowbird instead.
