Subscribed here as well. You seem happier to be working in 1/72 surrounded by lots of AM. Just saying. I remember the pair of Eduard 1:72 FW 190s you built with all the engine detailing as though it was yesterday, so this will be a treat. Best of luck.

This one is going to be loaded. Always a treat to watch a build with lots of aftermarket pieces... you just never know how it will all turn out! Given your skills, I'm sure it is going to be a beautiful result.

I can't help but follow a Fermis build. They are always a treat. I do hope this won't come to the Phoenix Nationals though; I need some small hope that I'll be able to place....

Bring it on Fermis!

This should be recorded and put on some sort of video outlet. Going to be good!

Alright, gentlemen...here we go!

Gettin somewhere with this one, finally!

Interior is finished up...used some kit parts, some from the resin set and some from the PE sets, and scratched up new gun barrels with aluminum tubing...

I added some lead sheet to the bottom of the floor, just aft of the gear bay, as well as a little on the rear bulkhead. I'm sure I'll need to add more between the IP and radar.

The interior looks real good!
