John it just keeps looking better and better, their is just so much detail in 1/32.
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

The switches are marvels. All those bakelite buttons and rotary switches! Good. So good. The bee's knees of bakelite buttons and rotary switches.

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!"..

Those consoles are looking great! I’m enjoying seeing this cockpit in 32nd. scale come together. The level of detail in this kit is great!

There's Tamiya Detail and then there is Barracuda Detail. Hard to believe the impact these tiny decals make on the cockpit side consoles. They are small and hard to handle and need lots of patience to place but well worth the effort. I'm about 3/4 of the way done on the decals for this piece alone.
