Started this in September with the goal of getting it to the IPMS show in Cleveland November 3rd. It's pretty much straight from the box with the addition of the carb scoop and repositioned tail feathers. It's painted with Tamiya gloss red with a drop of blue in each batch. There is a full build on hyperscale if anyone is interested. Got lucky and took 1st in the Civilian and Racing Class at Cleveland.

Thanks guys! I've been building models off and on since I was in Kindergarten...Just got back in to it hardcore last year after a 20 year hiatus. A LOT has changed...kit quality, paint quality, air brush quality, it's been a fun learning curve. More to come

Okay, so posting was the end of 2019 but gotta say it's a very good result both in finished item and its placing in the Cleveland IPMS.
