OK, finally have this to a point where I can pretty much call it finished, there are a few more things that can and probably should be done but I am all used up on this one for now. Overall not a bad kit...but not a great one either. It builds into a decent model but there is a lot of detail missing that is present on the Thunder Models kit and if you can get the TM kit for a comparable price, I would recommend that one. I also had some fit issues but I'm not sure if those were the fault of the kit or me (I have been known to bodge things up from time to time). If you can get this one for significantly cheaper and you are not as concerned about detail, or are not afraid of some significant scratchbuilding, then this is good enough.
Anyways, on to the pics:






And yes, I have forgotten the hoist in the back
and I just noticed one of the vent windows is coming out :-(
Cheers

A real joy to watch this coming together.
Keep up with the good work on detailing, I'll make my notes.
Kind regards,

For those of us who shop here in Europe it gets really good since the Thunder Model kit of the R100 is actually 5 Euros cheaper than the IBG one. I will not buy the Thunder Model kit since it is already in my stash
