Beautiful!!  I think I've got that kit put back somewhere (not even sure if local or remote stash) but this will be an inspiration when I do it.

Thanks, both of you!

Jon - yes, caught that yesterday afternoon. It's beautiful work - but after building this one, I'm just about ready to start switching up to 1/48th...

You're dead to me...

Seriously though - it came out great, especially considering the quality (or lack thereof) of the kit.

Going to bash the old Artiplast/Smer MC-72 into submission?  ;D :icon_vader:

I've never considered my shift to 1/48 to be going dark, more of an enlightenment, really. :icon_meditation:

That's an astonishing result from such a rough kit, Doc!

Unbelievable how polished it all looks.

No worries on the windscreen. When I built mine, the gaps weren't noticeable because of the trenches around the radiators.

Pure eye-candy all the way!

Just joined the forum and catching up on things, but I wanted to jump in and say what a great job you did on this kit.  I've been humming and hawing about this one for a while now, so it's nice to see it "in action".

Simply great.
Thanks!
