All done, really liking this model and the quality of it, and its huge! Heres some pics

One with the rest of the fleet so you can get an idea of the size, this is the same scale as the rest of them, they are in order they were built.



Now some to show off the plane and its details

















thoughts?

All the best.

Very nice build. The best I've seen yet in the white finish.

If you look at the photos in the link attached though there are two struts on the undercarriage that are included in the kit, but not shown on the instruction sheet:

I used these on my build log when the kit first appeared, but haven't seen them on anybody elses build. They ensure that the undercarriage rotates to the correct position when extended or retracted.
