Four long years...
That's how long it took between starting and finishing this one.
Really difficult to get decent photos of this one due to the size, but here it is:
I'm really pleased to have this one finished. I shouldn't have left it sitting for so long, but once I got started again it wasn't difficult to find the motivation.
The kit itself was a bit hit-or-miss - the panel lines around the cockpit area are shocking, and don't seem to represent anything that you see on the real thing. Luckily there are plenty of decals there to distract the eye. I'm glad I used an aftermarket cockpit and engine exhausts, they really add some realism to it.
Now into the cabinet it goes.
