Great work, Chuck. Perfect, as usual!

Yesss a new Chuck thread to follow!

Nice! I got my float rating in a 172E on floats! They're fun little airplanes!

As it turns out, the grey primer is exactly the shade of grey I want.... Would throwing a gloss coat over it after sanding it really smooth be decent for decals? And then the usual gloss to seal them in and decals.

Chuck, I know you've probably mentioned this before, but do you prime with that black paint, like go right on the plastic with that, or do you put a primer underneath it? The black really reveals any flaws and I'm wondering what your process is.

Also, the main gear doors drop too, just like a P-51.

Ah beauty! I have a 2001 M Coupe, so I know what you mean about the S54! Mine has a ton of miles on it, but it's too fun to drive to let it sit!

I'll probably be using this build as a guide to do an F-5 of my own this summer, so I appreciate everything you're doing here Chuck. Also your username... do you have a Z3?

Can't believe nobody has commented on this, but it looks great. I wish you'd be doing a CF-5 to complement your Hornet, but this looks amazing. Makes me want to get back into modelling.
