That looks fantastic

Are you going to release it as originally painted or with the doors grey (or both even).

Thanks Guys!!

Pete, as you may notice from the first image i have not done any of the fade lines on the flag due to knowing it will be removed anyway, i feel it would be a waste of time going back and doing it now! However, i will release as is and with the grey doors once i know how they will be done!!

Much thanks

Mark

Super job!, Mark. I know how difficult that job was. I gave up on trying to paint it on John's model.
I was going to try it on my Aerosoft Sea Hawk, but none of the models have the long wheelbase. :cry:

Thank you to John Young for his amazing models!! :)

Are mentioned the scheme on the real Betsy is close to getting the flag removed from the door, so expect an updated texture set soon, these are just for you guys that want it how it should stay!

Much thanks

"Betsy" now has the paint removed from the doors and a Black Jacks HSC-21 decal placed there instead!

It doesnt really look to bad, although i know we all preferred the flag over the doors.

Much thanks
