I have the DACO 104 update set crew ladder ill paint up to go with it .

Superb finish, congrats!

 

[MIflyer]

A challenging subject, very well executed. I have thought that the XF-104 would be a interesting candidate, perhaps using that old "too-stubby" kit from Lindberg.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work!
