Finished the 500 and must say it was a pleasant kit with no major fit issues!

The build can be seen here

Lovely work on that paint Trey. A sharp looking model, top stuff as always. And a nice little distraction from the complicated interior of your Fortress I'll bet.

Thanks Joe appreciate the kind words and yes it is a much needed break from that interior!

That's turned out really nice and tidy, certainly looks the part for special ops.

I'm really impressed with the clean, crisp lines on the canopy, your masking is spot on !!.

5* from me.

Nice and tidy Trey. I would think the only thing that could of made the special ops bird more sinister, would of been dark glass...

That's a great paint finish.......... I'm jealous. My airbrushing needs a lot of practice.
