gorbyThanks for the comments guys.🙂
Artem: Very possible – I'm that fussed about historical accuracy, I'm of the 'oh, I like that' school of modelling.😉
James: There are a couple of fit issues (although that could have just been my cack-handedness). The leading edge to the wings is a separate part and they were both a real bugger to blend in with the rest of the wing. Mine really could have done with quite a bit more work in that area, but it was starting to be the opposite of fun. A couple of the clear parts needed a significant shaving before they would fit, but on the whole it's an amazing kit, although certainly not for a beginner.

gorbyThanks Bjorn, Almost all the detail is thanks to the kit, I did very little scratch building. 🙂

Martin OostromI also think the green could be a shade paler. But hey, I didn't build the thing 😉
She does look very nice though. Well done Gorby!

Spanjaardnice to see you back gorbygould... 🙂 it looks pretty good to me, to be honest (no idea about the colors, i like it as it is). strange about the white gaze due to the future... no idea why it happened. maybe some contaminant like grease from the moulds still in the parts?

gorbyThanks Martin. 🙂
Thanks Spanjaard. I still pop back from time to time to see if you are behaving yourselves (glad to see your not😉 ).
On Britmodeller a couple of others have said that they have had problems with Zvezda clear parts. The glazing under the canopy is very bendy, so I'm wondering if they use a slightly different plastic to other manufacturers.

Roberto RocatVery well done, the real thing was a beauty, IMO, and you did it justice 🙂
