Very well done so far Keyda. That was indeed a good save on the sharks mouth up front. I compare this to getting the spiral on the prop spinner of a Luftwaffe aircraft right. If it's off, then it just looks like a bloody nose on the front of any given build. Awesome work so far. :shoutout:

The nightmare night fighter is finally done. 50 hours total, seems like a lot more though. It certainly has some flaws, and I'm not thrilled with it, but all in all it's not not bad. I'm glad it's off my bench, lol. If I ever decide to do another one it certainly won't be the Revell offering. I had to cram a lot of weight in it too. It's so heavy it feels like it could be diecast. The entire nose was filled with BB's, which made it pretty heavy, but apparently not heavy enough. I crammed some more BB's in the landing gear bays where they won't be seen. Finally got it to sit on it's nose gear. I refused to use that long clear piece they give you to stick under the tail.

Seriously, that is some fabulous work Keyda. It’s not shake and bake, but you sure showed what can be done with the old Widow! Bravo! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:
