Great work! The astronauts look excellent.

Looks really good so far!

They I can only speak for myself, but I dont consider what is going on here complaining. I for one consider engaging a company like Profimodeller a proactive thing. I know in my case, I do not possess the needed disposable income to get a 3rd party to print/mold something like turrets. Those polished turrets do look great! I only wish the nose turret was a bit more accurate. I was hoping that may have been a part of an AM upgrade kit.

Here is where I normally would plead you to stop as you are outright embarrassing the rest of our so-called modeling "skills", but its all SO good I cant say it!

I like it so far. Very interesting to follow along

Probably a great idea! Does anyone have the best link/email for Profimodeller to do that?

It does look significantly better in the first pic, with what appears to be a missing chin scoop in the last pic.

Yeah, on first impression, that looks a bit rough. That ones gonna take a better look once its out.

Looking back over the pics, my initial reaction is kind of the same. Im not trying to judge a whole kit on a couple of pics, but those seats and 2D forced perspective side consoles kind of set me back a bit. Thanks Mike, please do let us know what you find out.

I actually like it in a good/ugly sorta way. It looks like its screaming as it flys at you!

Ah bummer, Im at work and cant see most of the pics (we have a lot of hosting sites blocked) - Ill have to have a peak when Im off work

That would be a shame! I think there are a ton of people who would like to see it come together. The thing about forums is........ There are all types of people in the world, and on a world wide forum, you get exactly that, people from all over, sharing opinions, thoughts (sometimes both good and bad) and a lot of times, things seem to get misconstrued over the interwebs, when typed instead of said. Its easy to take someones meaning a different way than they meant it, and its also hard to walk away or take things in stride when someone comes off negatively. I think in those cases there are sometimes individuals that we as individuals may not jive with. I think it does happen quite often when people from all over are brought together and share thoughts on the same subject, and sometimes it does get heated or negative. For the record, I hope you dont feel that Shawn or I were trying to "pile on" here. I was simply passing on what I had learned more about from the link Stormer posted. I personally was looking forward to your build, and hope you stay and continue to share. Cheers,

Thanks for that, good to know. I too am hoping Brassin comes out with a set, as most things I have gotten from them (including the current Do-335 tires and wheels I got from them) have been top quality.

Agreed that labeling any type of builder as lesser than another is not just wrong, but IMHO detracts from the enjoyment of the hobby for all. Sure, there are guys who love ultra accuracy; that is one of the largest parts of enjoyment for them. Just like those who like to keep it simple and do OOB builds, that is what they enjoy. I think part of the fun in the hobby is finding the parts of it you like and keeping your modeling style in tune with that. I think it keeps the MoJo high, and the fun aspect up. Im hoping we get a turret set soon, as I like a lot, are holding out to build the kit (having even purchased one yet as I haven't found any in stock at a good price) until a solution to that issue can be found. The wing doesnt bother me as much as I thought it might, and wheels are coming too, so Im hoping we see a resin or IM clear set for this bird.

Ohhhhh that is very nice! I am quite jealous of that one indeed. Ever since they came out, Ive wanted one of Breitlings Cockpit B50s: Unfortunately 4-5k is just way out of my realistic budget for a watch. So for now Ill have to look at yours! Dang, sorry to hear that Thierry. My sisters home was robbed that way. NOT a good feeling it leaves you with in the aftermath.
