Panel lines too heavy... Christ Almighty. It's 1/72nd and your camera shots are brutally close. I dream of such perfection.

I've inserted a few earworms into A4K's iPod. [Barney's - I love you, you love me...] Heheheheh...

My opinion stands, Purple dinosaurs or not... (thank God I don't know what an iPod is!)

I'm a perfectionist Matt, and believe me I dish out ALOT more criticism to myself than to anyone else...(Ever wondered why you don't see my stuff here too often? Now you know...)

On the panel lines though, someone once wrote in a model review that 'any panel line engraved on a 1:72 model is almost automatically out of scale' - I believe them. Very few companies engrave them fine enough to produce an effect of detail without overdoing it - same with fabric effects on control surfaces...
Think of that kit as the real aircraft, and imagine looking at it from such a distance that it would appear that size - you'd be lucky to see the wheel hubs, let alone the bloody panel lines...!
