Man that looks fantastic. Screw up? Mistakes? If so i cannot see them.

I see all the mistakes and boogers in my own builds, while everyone else see the finished model as a thing of beauty.

THIS is a thing of beauty.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...

That’s for sure, Bob. Looking at this reminds me why ol’ ham hands doesn’t do many modern jets. Too much stuff for me to break off.

Build an A-10 Lyle. They are nearly indestructible... :ballbat:

You nailed it! I love the scheme makes it look even meaner.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thanks guys! Really means a lot. The decals on the canards and tail were a tad to big and I had to trim them which wasn't easy and I had a few spots that broke up.
