It's looking really good.
I'm not a big fan of AM sets,but I've built 2 of these and the kit really needs them.

Hi,

Looks great so far!

I am also building this + the Voyager set.

What are your plans for the windows?

Cheers,

Adam

I waited to see your outcome of this fine model... With good reason! Very, VERY NICE WORK!!! I used after-market resin tires on mine, otherwise your work very closely paralleled my effort... Once again, VERY, VERY NICE!!!

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. I still have a couple of things left to do to it. Add and weather the recovery chain, touch up the fuel spills areas, and seal it with some matt varnish. But overall it's just about done

Superb build!!! Love the weathering.

What do you think of the Voyager set? They tend to overengineer things a bit.

Cheers, Nikos.

Great job! Actually, your photos are what got me interested in the filters that you used.
