Nice build. I couldn't find anything that I would recommend you change or add.

This is the first one I've seen with the 1/2 moon wind screens - I like that. It looks good.

Looks great. I recently built one without the P.E. and it really makes a difference. What is the color scheme going to be? I painted a two tone desert pattern using sand and light blue. It really stands out. I've got another one to built that I want to use the O.D. and black pattern.
Good luck on the project.

A beauty. Boy, the PE on that kit (or your skillful use of it) really makes that kit come alive. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Hi Ron. Great build !

How many hours have you put into this "gem" to this point ?

Do you have a reference link for that windshield? Never seen one before ...

Do you plan on placing figures in or around the kit ?

Cheers, Michael

Ron:

Jeeze Loweeze this is great,--- be proud of this build Ron!!!!

This is a dynamite looking model. I recall your posts showing the pe detail earlier on in this construction---its nice to see it all come together for you.

For my own info---I assuming those are large gas tanks in the rear???---talk about driving around on a potential fire bomb---Wow!

This is good stuff.

Thanks for the pics and keeping us all up to date on this model. Looking forward to the final pics.

What Can I say this time... It`s really impressive I have built two of these through the years but simply OOTB and I liked them then but when I see this I think they are kiddy play

Great Job and I can`t ait to see it finished
