This is the first model I've attempted since I was a kid, and the first I've ever 'completed.' It's definitely not perfect, but I have tried to take the attitude that I'm not trying for perfect, but rather to practice, get better, and get a project finished. I am leaving a few small items unpainted (the antenna and ... is that a pitot tube on top of the tail?), and the balance is tail-heavy, so let's call this a 98% and good enough.
