That is a beauty!

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

That’s a beautiful build TJ.

Looks like there is a bit of silvering around the wing walkway decals.

Carlos yes there is. In hindsight I should have just sprayed them.

I thought I'd already posted here but I notice I didn't. Despite the decal issue; this looks terrific! Way to go!
