All the time spent on the extra details is really paying off.

Hi Greg
Just had a most enjoyable catch up - I had missed a lot. First off I'm sorry about your job but I hope something else comes up soon.
The model - simply wonderful work, a real WOW!! The interior is sublime with all the detail and the two figures. Shame about the fuselage fit but good that the strip in the join has not thrown the windscreen fit. The scratched panels look perfect and cover the join.
A really impressive build.
Jim

Hi Greg,
Just caught up on your build, an impressive amount of work and well thought out.
Sorry to hear about the job loss, let's hope things pick up once we start to get back to normal. At least you will not be staring at the walls wondering what to do.
Cheers, Mike.

Dear all...some of you told me that the windshield would not fit...well it fits...but l don't like it..way too thick..so l made it myself.....dammmn it took me 8 tryouts to find the correct ones....now l'm waiting to have it fully dry and bend it tomorrow...then l prepared the landing gears to have them super detailed....sometimes l wonder if l'm normal....
