Thank you fellas for the kind words.. I really appreciate it.. I was able to get a few coats of paint on this one.. I used Model Master paint I decanted from a spary paint can to a bottle and sprayed thru my air brush.. It's got a little bit of trash/dust in the paint.. I'll give it a few days, wetsand it and put a couple more coats on... Thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Thanks fellas for the kind words.. I've really had fun building this one, it's been challenging to.. I've never built a turbo engine, just found a bunch of ref. pics and went for it.. I'm pleased with how it's going so far... Should have some updates later.. It's calling for rain all day here..lol..
