Wow, thats looks great. It's a kit I've wanted for a while but I can't afford it right now.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this build progress.

Hi Vance

,
I can tell you that I was looking this kit up to I decided to by it and I do not regret.
It´s a very good kit. This is the Hi-tech, this means that it has resisn pieces for the cockpit and guns and Photo.
Up to now, I´m with the cockpit, all the comments I can tell are good.

It really looks like this is going to be on your work surface for a long, long time. I do like what you have accomplished so far. Keep us posted.

Nice one Daniel
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this monster takes shape! I only have the original edition of the kit (plus a bundle of Eduard extras), so it's really interesting to see what the additions were for the Hi-Tech version.
Keep 'em coming! - all the best
