iderek Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) I've started working on this bad boy for quite some time now, and it's been giving me headaches from time to time. I'm not saying that it's a bad kit, just some fitting and alignment issues. Overall, the detail on this thing is amazing! But I would only recommend intermediate to expert modellers to try this kit out. I'm about 70% done with the kit so I'll post some more update pics from now on.

Del Austin Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Looks great so far. We all have those headache kits that fight us. Hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Great work. Other than alignment issues, I haven't heard anything bad about this kit. For sure it holds some amazing details. I have been wanting to build one of these, but I'm too cheap, or um ah......intimidated to start one. Maybe one day my wallet and confidence will allow me to build one too. Keep up the good work and I expect to see many more photos of this build. Take your time with a build like this and the results will be huge!

I have heard more negative then positive about this kit, I have heard that a lot parts lack detail, I have seen a few built up, and they are very impressive.
