Keep up the good work and keep those pictures coming. I have the Aurora release of this kit, and even that one I find daunting. Model on.

Hi Nick:

It looks like you are progressing nicely on this build. I am looking forward to more pictures as you progress. I may just tackle the old Aurora kit one of these days.

I echo Terri's sentiment Nick. Good job on the interior and good progress so far. Continue to march.
