That is a stunning build Borg - very good work! 6 years well spent I'd say.

Six years is a long time. But I really should finish my MiG-3 that I started in 2004....JimD wrote:Man. I knew this one had been in the works for a while, but I had no idea it was six years.![]()
I'm sure it was a labor of love and the result is excellent. Congrats. I can't imagine how good it feels to be done...if not a bit sad![]()
By the way...be prepared. Someone will announce a kit in the next week or so.
And yes, it might happen dat somebody releases a more accurate kit. MPM has already redone some of their earlier kits like the He-100 and Northop N-3.....

If you like 1/48 both Koster and Airmodel make vacform conversions. They can be build into great models:Texgunner wrote:Great job Borg! That's one we don't see everyday, very well done my friend. I'd love one in 1/48!![]()
