My build:

It is over twenty years old because I remember that I paid 10 Guilders for the kit.
Very nice Borg! I coated the decals with Microscale Liquid Decal Film just to be safe.

I've been cleaning up some parts that I forgot to take care of on the X-29. Mostly the landing gear. Pretty much ready for paint now.

Great to see this one back on the bench. I bought one of these when I saw you start this build - part of my X-planes budding collection.
Looking forward to paint!

Thanks guys! Work and other obligations have kept me from painting it. Hopefully soon.
