Thanks Bernd. Hopefully I can keep up a healthy interest and get this one done fairly quick.

How do the lines of the kit line up with your plans? Are they close or "way out there in left field"?

Surprisingly, they are very close with the exception of an extra 6"-8" or so of length somewhere in the mid-section, and the typical old rounded off corners on wing and tail plane where there should be nice sharp angles. Location of kit panel lines is hit AND miss, some are on target, many are off. I'm not worrying about the extra length on this one, I've gone the route of correcting those kind of issues before..... This is NOT going to turn into one of 'those' builds 🙂

Closing in on the finish, folks! Just a touch of weathering and some details to add on and this Gina will be done. Hopefully within the next few days.

Alright, I'm calling this one done. Just have to acquire some acrylic rod to make the base I have in mind. Pretty happy with the result, for the lump I started with! Enjoy, mates.
