And I thought the yellow one was good! Mind-blowing stuff, sir.

Wow, this is a great model! Excellent work in every department.

IMHO, this Tamiya kit comes with a big downside compared to other kits (like, for instance, the Aoshima one). And that is the molded-in "half-engine" detail instead of a complete, separate engine. That makes it so much harder to paint and detail it in order to make it look good. But you sure MADE it look good!

Thanks Pete! Glad to see this is still getting attention after being done for a couple of months now

Thanks Thomas! You are exactly correct about the stupid molded in engine.  I love Tamiya Kits but this was super disappointing, and a PITA to mask and paint up correctly.

WOW stunning what a gorgeous paint job, its floorless.

Thanks Jim. As soon as I saw a pic of one online, I had to build one.  Here is my inspiration for this build.
