This is my finished entry for the AGE 2 campaign. This starfury by Revell/ Monogram is one of the hardest models i have had to build. Hardly any of the parts fit together true and it nearly flew into the wall on several occasions. The kids learn't some new swear words during this build

. Now its finished and i'm fairly happy again

Betheyn,
As you said, that kit is just a JOY to put together....NOT!!! It is one of my favorite SciFi ships of all time. It is a shame the kit is so bad.
I love the weathering you did on Ivanova's bird. You really nailed it well. Keep up the good work Andy.

Very nice job on your build.
Why not make the whole plane out of the same material the blackbox is made from?
