Joel,
A great article to cap off a great build! I was glad to be able to follow along. I'm going to try to emulate your black basing technique on my current build. Looking forward to your next!

Hi Joel,

You have done a SUPERB job with this aircraft.
Really like the paint job and markings.

The jig holding the aircraft is made by whom, if i may ask.

Cheers,
Joe

Joel, I will reiterate what I said in your build blog; great work indeed. Looks ready to ply some steel grey open ocean.

Best wishes,

Ian

Gary,
Thanks so much for those more then kind words about both the feature article and the build itself.

You've been along for the ride since day 1,and it's been much appreciated. I've just started the Academy B-25B,so there isn't enough done for even a modest update.

My computer died this morning, so I'm struggling with my cell phone to try and stay in touch for now.

Rowan,
Thank you my friend. Glad you like both the build and the feature article. After all you prompted me to get my butt in gear and write it.
