Top stuff Mumbles.
That Tamiya rattle-can flat looks like it's done a nice job. How's the finish up close with it?

It's looking absolutely fabulous, keep it up.
The new Hunmbrol acrylic matt spray is an excellent matt varnish if you are looking for alternatives.

Cheers guys I'm quite happy with the flat coat, up close it looks no different in texture to anything else I have used. Being from a can though you need to be careful to mist it on and not drown the thing. The Macchi is now on its feet with the canopy fitted and ready for some serious final assembly. I would post another picture but photobucket appears to have been hacked or otherwise disappeared

Right, now that photobucket is playing the game again.... On its feet, always a big moment.... More bits and bobs underneath..... And flaps reattached at last. Way too thick for scale, but the effect is right. Long road, but almost done......

Yeah, very well done.
Who said you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? ;D

Well I must have done something right, as the Macchi just picked up 2nd in class for NZ connected Aircraft at the IPMS Wellington 2008 Club comp. ;D I only joined the club a few months ago, and this is my first club comp, so quite happy with the result. Makes the frustrating build a lot more worthwhile! Thanks again to everyone for the compliments and encouragement, and especially silverfox for inspiring me to finish it!

And now you'll be the most 'hated' member of the club - a 'newbie' who thrashed all the old hands. ;D Well done, Sam - these awards are the much deserved rewards for all your hard work, especially with the Macchi.
