Great work, details look very sharp! I've had this one in the stash for a while and ironically just started it this last weekend. Very nice kit, its been a quick build thus far and enjoyable. I'm going to give mine a hypothetical paint scheme. Kits been so fun though I'd like to do this scheme and the Argentinian markings provided with the kit! My only wish is that Airfix could mold some crisper detailed pilots to fill these 1/72 cockpits.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I really enjoyed the smooth build of this kit. I am thinking of getting an other one with the Attack squadron conversion set and some aftermarket decals so i can build a C model.

I have been building on it for over 2 years now on and of. The hugh amount of PE makes me lose intrests every now and then. I made some pics during the build so far.
