OK I still have a little ways to go....
But I think it will be done by the end of the Weekend :)
anyway I have taken the parts I have and test fitted them onto the hull.
I will then do a final inspection of the hull before molding :)





















well this is where I am for now :)

It freaks me out how you can get such crisp details in 1/72nd that I struggle to acheive (& often don't) in 1/35th scale! :-\

Many Thanks for the kind word guys :)

OK except for the painting.... it is done
it has a few "quirks" I did not foresee.....
even though I "test fitted" the parts over and over again
but it is done.....
I will put it on ebay either later today, or tomorrow.
but here it is :)





















Please tell me what you think :)

That is, without a doubt, one of the best bits of modelling I have ever seen &, in 1/72nd scale, it is by far the best! :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza:

Too small for me, I'm afraid, but they are, quite literally, awesome! :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: 8)
