Really great work getting all the resin to fit in the fuselage. Where did you get the seamless intake? I can't recall seeing that company.

Seriously intense build! I love the results so far. I definitely can appreciate all the little fine details you have included.

Sure you may be a year into it, but this like nothing anyone else has done! Great work bud!

Thanks a lot for that! I have other builds in the pipeline that are just as involved.I am very blessed to have the job that I have,but the 12-14 hr days really slow my building time

Thanks for the interest everyone.

Some more weathering:





Bare metal area painted at the rear using MM Metalizer



It was at this point I decided I wasn't happy with the formation lights.So I ordered a set of lights from Quickboost,that were meant for the Hobbyboss kit and grafted them on to mine.Touch-ups were done with Tamiya clear red,blue and green.
