Most of the rocket together needs a little sanding. Nice, fun kit.

I really like this one! It's got a cool 1930's Buck Rogers movie serial vibe to it!

Off to a great start !!!!!!   I'm anxious to see more of your build. I'm thinking on getting one of those kits myself. Are you going to use any of the aftermarket add-ons ?  I'm thinking of getting the kits for the building because I think its Kool !  Great work,keep it up ...

Its a great kit and can be built in an afternoon. Seam lines are hidden or easily taken care of. I am gonna do this as a CoMMiE bomber, my modeling club is the Colorado Modeling Militia Enjoying Sci Fi, so it will be done up in olive green and have red stars and all kins of nonsense.

Cool looking ship!

And "all kind of nonsense" sounds an excellent plan to me :)
