I actually built this early this year, as a simple build to have some fun with, and get some experience doing a white finish. It's a great little kit, with some very nice detail. Fit was quite good, and a good value. This was built out of the box except for reworking the suspension coil springs. There's a mold seam along the springs, and while I was able to clean it up pretty well, I just decided to try to copy it with some solder coiled around a piece of plastic rod. I think it worked out well.
Finally got around to getting the pictures off my camera, but figured I would post them up.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Jesse. Looks like a very nice build. Its wonderful what a little extra attention can do. Bought the Trumpeter kit recently and have just received the voyager small set for it. Will replace the coils as you have as well.
You´re weathering looks the part as well. Nice one.

Thanks Frank! One thing i would suggest if i could to it again is to space the spring out a little as it would be more realistic.
