After work tonight I tuned into Foyle's War and cut plastic at the dining table popping out briefly to the studio to airbrush a coat of black, grey then a silvery grey.  A quick search through the box marked "US decals" for some suitable markings et voila !  Boeing Model 908-909





A few more little details ( FOD cover for example) and a coat of something satin and we're done.

Wow is that one sharp, clean build and the decal/marking scheme are very eye-catching!

Good to see another "Foyle's War" fan!

Must you take so long with these builds, Les?  What was that ... 24 hours from parts bin to masterpiece?  Speed it up  >:(

I love your model, completed! :-*
Do you have a F-16 at the same scale, to compare? (and fully appreciate the changes)
