I'm not finished yet, but getting closer. This could be the first completed model in over 40 years! The last completed model was a Monogram 1959 Corvette, I hand painted everything but the body. I spray painted the body in my bathtub in 1982!

Well, Stikpusher, I have 'Started' at least a dozen model projects, some are here on this forum, however, zero have been completed, so I am excited to get this close and to cross the finish line!

I'm getting real close...
The front wheel looks too tall
Should look more like this

That looks fantastic!
I see what you mean by the nosewheel - looks like they might have moulded it in the extended state...
on the ground
as opposed too...

Stuart, I think you are correct, in flight with gear down, so I will shorten it.

Yeah, that nose wheel strut oleo sure looks to be in "unloaded" extension.
