Thank you Carlos! Don't look too close to the two big windows on top of the wing or the rear canopy. They are terrible.

Thank you Duke! Probably one of the fastest builds I've done. Mayne I'll come close to your finish count this year :giggles:

I'm gonna make sure next build to snap photos constantly then just weed out the bad and blurry ones later.

In the end you showed this Roden kit its place and that is what counts. It looks great even on second glance.
Also it's a rare sight on model shelves.
