I'm calling this beastie finished. It's big for 72nd. 12" span and 14" long. This is one of Italeri's better kits

This looks great Johnny. That paint just came out tops man. :shoutout:

I've never tackled an Italeri kit before but I didn't know that they were that bad.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Joe, Italeri is a funny company, They have some really nice kits. And then they have some absolute stinkers. I tried the 72nd Panavia Tornado :whiteflag: not only did I throw it on the floor I smashed it with my shoe five it six times

Yeah they do. You got the beast tamed. I like the camo scheme. Well done!
I’ve got a Viper kit by Italeri and haven’t gone deep into the build yet. That will resume very soon now that I’m working 1 day a week (Wednesdays).
