Dont beat yourself up over this Trey. I think its a great build and the extra work you have put into it has really paid off. The preshading has really come out a treat.Top marks for a difficult build mate.

I think your eye is far too critical Trey! Anybody would be proud of a build that good.

I think it looks great. And, I've never seen another one built. Great job. I only have one problem with your photo's. Where on earth did you find blue sky ?

Lovely Job Trey, I think the model looks deceptively simple, hiding those long wing joints must have been tricky, and the excellent but hidden crew area. Cheers Derek

Thanks for all the really great compliments everyone I really do appreciate it. I geuss we are our own worst critics and its hard not to focus on a trouble spot and forget to just look at the whole build.The seams were a real pain Derek you called that one for sure! I was my own worst enemy with the NMF and should have just left it alone instead of trying to fix a small A/B spit,it really did look a lot better before ,live and learn. Colin the blue sky is compliments of the 'Sunshine state' we pay for it in august trust me!
