Thank you Rich, appreciate the compliment - especially from a great car/bike modeler like yourself.
Don’t do cars often. Every time I actually do one, I remember why that is. #histscalemodels

Find your peace where and when you can.

Did you have to build an addition to be able to display it?

J/K, I remember that kit in original form, very impressive even back then. Your build looks amazing.
Agree, recently watched it as well. I remember seeing the novel on the desk of my 4th grade teacher and my fascination with it. Movie came out two years later and I don’t remember seeing anything about the release. Of course that was the summer of “Empire strikes back”, so….
It’s over. Get out the Halloween stuff.

Ah, that makes sense. Still very exacting but better to handle (imo)
The radial pattern is…..decals?
Since you mentioned Tamiya….
It probably isn’t fair because the molds date back to the late 60’s, but this was bad beyond that. The plastic itself was thin and splintered with sanding. Then again, it was cheap for a reason.
Recently completed this Tamiya F-35B, build took almost three months but the kit was so well designed, it was worth the effort to get the most out of it.
Thank you Paul, appreciate the compliment
Why? Because *you* know it’s there. Outstanding.
The F-35b is coming along, but hot damn, was there a ton of masking involved #histscalemodels
The Vet, gone 20 years ago today. She was ugly and mean, but she was home.
