I can't believe the shine! Wow! Looks like a masterful job man, and the base sure does enhance this tremendously.

Well guys, I ran out of parts......so I guess this one is done!

And I figured that it needed a fire extinguisher as is commonly seen along the flight line. This is made by Aerobonus, and except for the hose is all resin. It is very delicate to put together to say the least. Depending on the era it could be painted red, yellow, or OSHA Safety Green. I like that funky green, and to be completely honest the only reason I added this was because I have always wanted to paint something that funky green color

Really! I mixed the color from Model Master Sublime Green cut with white to lighten it up a bit. I also replaced the handle at the top with a piece of Albion Alloys micro tube so it looks like a piece of hollow pipe.

I will set up and get some better pics this weekend.

Thank you Gentlemen, appreciate the comments. I am glad to finally have it finished and off the bench. Am going to take a couple days off to clean and organize my work area before I mess it all up again with something else

I'll be watching to see what you start afterward. Your work is always worth waiting for.

Thank you Duke, you're too kind. Yeah, I do have some organizing to do though, should make things easier though when I build stuff. Have a Dr. appointment tomorrow for my wife, so pending the outcome of that we'll see what I start next.

I'm used to seeing T-6's in Air Force colors, so seeing one with a different paint scheme is neat.
