I was right - she looks even better! Fabulous job Chris!

 

[Stefee]

Love it young man , the lighting just makes it look so good. A trying build that has turned out superb.

 

[Scratchbuilder]

You can just imagine the F-14 down in the hangar going through a full pre-flight inspection, all lit up and panels open.
This has been a remarkable journey, some pot holes along the way but now all filled in and a smooth road ahead.
Well done Chris, this model is a total credit to your skills. And a 5***** model at the end.
