amazing! It inspires me when somebody tackles an old kit with great result!
Also I love Testors models.

nice progress so far. At least this one had engraved panellines? or did you do these also. At the moment I'm converting Revell's (Italeri's) Mirage F-1C and engraving the panellines...

Thanks guys! I still have more pictures to upload of the finished model. It did have engraved panel lines, but they are very faint and I had to re-scribe a lot of missing/faint detail, mostly on the fuselage. Parts fit was not the greatest and this kit fought me every step of the way, but I'm happy with the results & it taught me a great deal along the way.
