Thanks Holger, yeah, I thought about posing it straight up doing the maneuver, but decided for a more neutral pose in the end.

Thanks Stephan, Stefan, Germen, Erik, Christian, James, David, Scott, Marko, Ulf, Günther, and Lex! Your kind words are truly appreciated!!!

Bart Goesaert
great build. engines look fantastic, paintjob too

Michael Phillips
Günther, the base is a 6"x8" gloss black trophy plaque that I bought from Trophykits.com. I used 3/16" armature wire connected to a 10/12GA ring terminal that I screwed into a hole drilled into the bottom of the model. The information card is made by me in Adobe Illustrator to 2.5"x3.5", which is the size of a standard Baseball Card. I printed that out and put it in a nice Baseball card holder, and attached it to the base.

Michael Phillips
Thanks Bart!!! I appreciate the kind words. I am happy how the engines turned out too. I love doing heat stressed metal like that, really gives me a chance to get creative and use a bit of artistic license!

Bryn Crandell
Awesome build. Love the panel lines and the engines.

Rui Reis
Excellent work, mate, looks great!

Michael Phillips
Thanks Bryn and Rui for the kind words!

Clifford Keesler
Beautiful Michael, How is the kit.

Michael Phillips
Thanks Clifford! The kit is really easy to put together, goes together fast. Not a huge number of parts. The fit is pretty good in most places, but the intakes do have some fit issues and require a bit of putty and sanding, but nothing too terrible.

Clifford Keesler
Thanks.
