That camo is pure eye-candy, Zac! Painting a Valkyrie in that scheme was truly inspired!

Beautiful build, Zac!!  You've got me real tempted now to do an Academy 1/300 B-70 with the upper surface, at least, in Euro One camouflage for slightly later in its career.

Beautiful but big... :)
Do you have room enough for it or will you have to buy a second home for it?

Seeing the hand holding it, it is not that big. But this is so perfect a model, I thought it was 1/48... ;)

Thank you, everyone!

Evan - please do! A Lizard Valkyrie would be awesome!

Tophe - it's not very big compared to my other recent models but definitely has a strong presence!

Brilliant finish, looks the part.
At that scale I think an F14 style canopy and 1/72 scale weapons would give a USA answer to the TSR2.  :icon_swat:

If it's great, I did it. If it's naff, I found it.
