Ray Seppala AuthorSome progress, started to add the etch and white metal antennas. Decided to scratch build the forward cabin intake and the supplied one was too big.

Ray Seppala AuthorOn the rather large shelf of doom at the moment. 3 P-3s and and P-8 are taking up my time at the moment.

Monasalvaged from the "shelf of doom", guess Most of us have one of those. IT Looks great ..the break from the build helped huh ?

Ray Seppala AuthorThanks Mona, yes the break did help. When I took it down I had wondered why I stopped so close to the finish. After working on it again I did have issues with the wing tip antennas and decals, so the break was welcomed.
