A great, fun to build kit. For me, some challenges in painting techniques; however, not quite yet mastered, but reasonable enough to submit (almost didn't).

I am presenting both build options; closed and open engine covers. Not sure if this is allowed? Or, just call them some 'extra' photos.

The open engine option

And a closer look at the engine detail

And all the futzing I did with the cockpit detail, only to not be able to capture in finished model.

Turned out nice. I'm glad you submitted it - not sure why you wouldn't.

Well....when I upgraded to Advanced from Intermediate, I self raised my performance bar. I felt that I just barely met Intermediate performance let alone Advanced on this build. But I was classified already,

Soooo..... self flagellation.

It's truly an excellent bit of craftsmanship.

Taking this much too seriously Ralph. The point is to have fun.

Always do. But if you recall many of my very early posts, I have stated myself as being AR. Always have been, probably always will be. But I DO have fun being so.

I too went up a notch to challenge myself. I still consider myself Intermediate but Advanced looks good on the resume.

Too modest, you are.
