Thanks Tim, the hardest part was removing the seams; the rest of the assembly was easy and completed in just a couple days. There was a little challenge also with the gloss black , decals, gloss coat, then dull coat while keeping a grit free (satin smooth) finish; but I am happy with the results. The last thing I did was attach the astronaut to the leading edge of the base by his heels. Now he will not get lost and he follows wherever it goes. It was built for a friend as a surprise gift.

Cracking build Ben
I've always loved these X craft built as testing platforms for space and other cutting edge aviation
