Thanks everyone for the nice words!

Hopefully I can make some progress on this beast over the weekend.

Put on the landing gear and gear doors. They're not really the right shape; but, I don't think anyone will notice.

As for the props, I sprayed the tips. Once they dry, I'll apply the decals.

In other news. It seems that the weight in the nose wasn't enough and the model sits on its tail. No worries, I can figure out something to stick under the tail.

It's true. It's finally over... and I really like it! This kit gave me some major head aches; but, it looks good now that it's done.

My 3d printer is running currently, so I'll take some high quality pictures tomorrow in the photo booth.

Also, I 3d printed an airplane holder. I've wanted something like this for a long time, so I was very excited when I stumbled across the files.

"Old kits never die, only the young!?!". Fantastic work on this vintage kit , and 3D printing is the next step that i'll pass one day or another.

Excellent work on with the plane and I really like your holder!
