I'm totally bogged down on my current builds so I busted out this nice kit that a friend sent me for the last SS GB we did on a different forum I'm a part of:

Pit is done:

For the first time ever I decided to detail the wheel bays:

This one should go pretty quickly since the only A/M I used was seat belts. The box art doesn't show the decals I will be using but I'm going with "2 Big And Too Heavy/Short Snorter"

If these turn out to be typical Academy decals, I have a nice set from Bombshell that I will use. I may use those anyway depending on how I feel at decaling time...

Thanks for looking, as always, any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

Jeff

Are you gonna go crazy like I did and wire up the engine?

Nope, no craziness this time around. About the only way I'm going to step outside the lines is with the NMF. I have a few different brands and shades that I will experiment with. I've only ever used Alclad so most likely I'll be trying something a little different.
