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.

As I said I first began with the cockpit.
For the instruments panels you can choose between using the resin pieces with the instruments that come on it, or sand the instruments from de resin pieces and use color Photo with film. I choose the last one.
Here some photos of the proceed,

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
