due hard-drive problems this is first pic from the project. Building this kit was quite easy. Problems of the project (there are always problems :-D ) was white paint. It was pealing off surfaces and result was this: repaint whole plane and hope best.

Antennas fixed, again. Those were very easy to bend or remove accidentally when handling model.

Other thing is taking pictures about this plane, wingtips are missing in most of the pictures. If I ever build U-2 I have to plan more how to take photos and how they would look bit better.

Decals done. White paint did eventually settled and did nort peal off again, but repairs did leave surfaces bit rough. But at this point I was just happy that this was ready.

Nice job Mr Reader - irrespective of the photography issues. The last shot, on the shelf, shows why it's wingtips are missing. That thing must be huge in 1:1.
Then I found this on its Wiki entry -
"On 24 April 2001, a Global Hawk flew non-stop from Edwards AFB to RAAF Base Edinburgh in Australia, making history by being the first pilotless aircraft to cross the Pacific Ocean. The flight took 22 hours, and set a world record for absolute distance flown by a UAV, 13,219.86 kilometers (8,214.44 mi)."
