Excellent progress! But what's up with the white balance of your cam? The shots are pretty yellow...
The light over my workstation is a bit on the yellow side.

A lovely looking model. and the quad arrangement doesn't detract from the the sleekness of the tandem cockpit, in fact I think I prefer this one
10 out of 10 methinks , great job

Thank you very much, one and all!
With how thin some of the main parts are (especially at 1:50 scale), I was not certain if I would be able to build it properly. With that being said, if you are a builder who is really looking for a challenge, and is looking for a great model to build, this one will fit that bill.

To give you an idea of just how small this model is, here is the model next to my hand.
Hhhmm I have heard you are a giant so this is a 1:1 model
