Final pictures are ready. A special thanks to Nige as he was a big help on this project. Haven't added the drop tanks yet as I haven't had time. Might add them later.

Well this took a might longer then expected.










I need a new black background for my models. This one is getting kinda dirty and beat up.
























Had a good time at my first ValourCon here in Winnipeg. All four of my models won medals. Including gold for Fat Cat!


Thanks for looking. And your patience!

Congrats on the Gold Medal Matt, very well deserved. Even if the model wasn't a show-stopper (which it most certainly is) you deserve a gold medal for sheer perseverance.

As I said earlier, I've bookmarked this thread for future reference, it's a classic !

Cheers, D

Congrats Matt! Slow but steady.....

Seriously, though, that is one amazing plane! This has got to be a feature article. All you'd have to do is rework your blog into an article and upload step-by-step pictures, and you'd have a winner!

Maybe you could even convince someone to do it for you!
