Excellent work!
I recommend that you change the first photo to one of the completed pictures, otherwise most people will miss this gem.

Gents, Thank you all for your kind comments.
gorbygould... note taken and images moved. I post the interior up some months ago.
Erik.... This is a really nice kit. I would not bother with any after market for the interior... you cant see anything inside. The exterior is up to you.
Word of advice for your build.... watch the heavy sprue gates especially on the engine parts and take your time dry fitted the engine fire walls. I found them to be a bit of a pain but nothing serious.
Thanks again.

Gary, that's a cracker! Didn't see this one coming. Impressed with your exterior finish - it's always a challenge to get that NMF looking realistic. Whose paints did you use?

Thank you very much guys.

Andy/ Spanjaard, I used Mr Hobby Super Metallics with Mr Hobby Levelling Thinners. They really do give a nice finish.

I missed this one back then. That's a stunning model Gary! Clean and gorgeous, a joy to watch!

How was the kit overall? It's definitely a large model, right?

Marius, Yes it's Big...Bigger than the WW2 Bombers.....about the same has a B-29 but fatter!

Fit isn't too bad, some heavy sprue gates especially on the smaller parts, flash and mould lines to be cleaned up, but long has you take your time and do plenty of test fitting it does go together well. Typical Revell really. I would recommend this kit. 👍👍👍
