Thanks! It's definitely not a Tamiya kit, but it's great that Trumpeter finally released this bad boy!

Looks great! I've heard good things about the cockpit of this model.

Entering the homestretch after 4 months of work off and on. Engines are in their bays; paint and decal work is done, along with wreathing. I wanted her to look really dirty. I've put on the landing gear doors now, and the front windshield is on, and canopy is ready to add. Going to display the wings folded, and will probably glue the nose on instead of having it open

Thanks - I used pigments from Flory models - I really like it as a wash, and it's great for making more than just the panel lines look realistically grimy!

Impressive! I especially like the work on the cockpit and the engines. Nicely done.

Thanks Alan. I'm finishing up the final touches, hope to finish her this weekend!

Album info
After three months, I've finished the fuselage, cockpit, wings and engines. Cockpit is an aftermartket set - really like the MB ejection seats and the instrument panel!
