That is a sensational Masterpiece! I'd be calling it done right now, but with a Master of your caliber; it will still be improved tremendously, far more than I ever expect is possible.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Thanks for all the good comments guys.
Mark: Me and that word...."master". One day I'll get there I suppose. I do appreciate the very kind compliment though buddy.

Good to see her standing tall, Joe! Fantastic!
Also- I like the insignias and other markings. They fade-in with the paint work so well and look exactly like they belong. Tied-in together so tastefully. Very good!

'Preciate it guys. Sorry for the absence around here as of late but I've been spending ALOT of time at the bench trying to get this one finished. I'm down to the REALLY short list on getting the base aircraft finished so I can move on to the engine assembly and detailing. Only a few things left like main gear doors and struts, aerial antenna, painting the rivets on the cockpit framing and installing the pitot tube. I mean I've got a little clean up to do here and there but this part of the build is just about to a close. Really stoked about displaying the engine though.
Overall, I've got some mixed feelings about this kit here because of fit issues but mostly because it has now moved into the most difficult kit that I've ever built category. Just really don't care for it even though it's supposed to be the best 234 kit out there. No worries however, I'm saddling up and moving forward and have learned a lot from this build.
Here's where we're at now...…….close.....real close.

Won’t be long now before she’s finally done.

Difficult build or not, you’re turning this into a fine looking build Joe.
