At the end of the year, I managed to finish eight models. See why I waited to post my Year End Review? Anyway, this is one of the eight finished. This is my Fokker F-27 Friendship which is not finished but finished. The one propeller disappeared and only God knows where it is because I don't. Since everything else is done on this, I'm calling it done! I refuse to hold this until the propeller gets found; that might be years with my luck! Without further ado, here's my Fokker:    Interestingly enough, this is a 'distressed' kit I got in our December Distressed Kit Auction. and yes, it had the propeller when I got it. I had bid on three others before but was always outbid until this time. Thank you for looking in. Comments are welcome.

Thank you Paul! It does look better in pics than in person but I am very happy with it.
Thank you Joe, it is simply overall white. The blue stripes were decals which went on surprisingly well.

Great looking F-27, Duke, and that scheme is really cool!

Thank you Bert. Yes, four of them were big, and the window holes were already 'cut out' but they still were fairly easy to apply. The only potential issue I had was the one decal went over a prominent hatch handle at the rear, but Solvaset took care of that well.
Thank you Ian! I figured all you British Masters would love that scheme!

That's cool Ian! I could've sworn I;d responded to your post. Glad to know of one more colonist here on these boards!
Thank you Boots! I'm very happy with it.
