Looks good. This whole story has been good. As a bystander (with an interest in this model, as I have been trying for some time to build it), the exchange regarding the recolor and the bringing in of the new version to the fold seemed to be the way that we all ought to get along. A classy operation all the way around.

This seems to be a great recolor of a wonderful model. I am following with interest! I like the bright yellow and white. It will show up well on such a small model. Looks great so far.

Don, CT;
Thank You Guys!!! very much for the things you have said. They mean much to me. I am very glad to be a part of such a great group of guys and modelers. CT soon as I get some time I will certainly be trying to build some of your ship kits, they are very well done kits, and will be a challenge for me. The main color is actually a light grey as I tried to get close to the Aluminum doped look of the real one. Here is an other update, I have the formers finished up, the tail group completed, the rear fusalage, some of the small parts, and the nose cowel started. Hoping to have the little bugger done by COB tommorow night.
