What else can I say about this kit?? It is perfect. I've built 3 of them already and I can now do it without the Instruction sheet I love this kit!! It is built almost OOB with the addition of seat belts and engine ignition wires made out of Aluminum strips and Copper wiring respectively.

Painted with Model Master Enamels, it was first Glossy but I realized it looked better with a Satin Finish.

The thing I love most about this particular bird was the "Morning shots" I took of it, hence the Title pic. I've got more, but these two here are the ones that I like the most. Plus, this bird contested in ModelFiesta XXIV, too, if you happen to have seen it

Like I said, I love this kit, I could build it with my eyes closed. Don't hesitate about getting one of these, it is completely worth it!!

Hope you liked it as much as I have.

Take Care

Mario
