It is looking super.

How are you going to display it ?

Hanging or on it's wheels ?

Sitting on a shelf. I had planned to hang it like all my other planes, but all the great detail in your landing gear needs to be shown, well that an nightmares of it falling from the ceiling and shattering into a million pieces!

That looks great YT! Incidentally, I was inspired by your work to get a 1/48 example of the HO 229 (I don't have the room for a 1/18th)…. and I may end up with three of them before all is said and done ;)

Great job!

Haven't decided yet. I've got a few schemes in mind. I was just curious, because I do like the darker green you used.
