An amazing build. You have gathered some great reference photos. Are you thinking (please, please) of putting together a book similar to the others you have done with Reid Air Publications? Or work with Kevin? Just asking... Thank you for some great inspiration. Happy modeling, Chris

Hello, Just found this thread. As has been said before "WOW" just doesn't seam adequate to cover this amazing build. Incredible attention to detail and fantastic research information you are sharing. I have the Tamiya 1/32 scale kit in my stash and will be using your build as inspiration when I actually start putting plastic together. Thank you for sharing your work with us. I have to admit it is good to see someone such as yourself who is willing to share when things don't go well and what you did to overcome the errors. It gives hope to those of us (me anyway) wh

Looks great. I love how you add the connectors to the wiring. It definitely adds to the realism of the kit. It must be a PITA to line up and drill the little holes in the plastic to attach the wires to. Do you have a method to this? Do you poke the center first with a pin or something, then drill? Stay safe, Chris

That cockpit looks amazing. Sorry to hear the Eduard Engine is not worth it, the pictures make it look pretty good. Happy modeling, Chris

WOW! Fantastic scratch building. Very precise. A pleasure to follow. Take care, Chris

Thank you very much sir.

Sorry for what is probably going to be a dumb question: "Mr. Black"? Can you elaborate? As has been mentioned before, this build is truly inspirational. Thank you. Take care, Chris

Looks like a great start.

This is an ambitious project. Should be a good one to follow. Waiting on pictures. Chris

Wow! Great job with the fiddly PE work! Looks amazing, Chris

Raising the long gone, but... Just saw this and am amazed and truly inspired by the great craftsmanship I see here. Beautiful work. I love the attention to detail with the cameras and even the squadron mascot.

Most of us prefer the term "intellectual badass" to the outdated "nerd".

The gun looks great! A very challenging paint scheme. I will be following this with interest.

Thanks for the information on an excellent resource. The PDF is great but actually having the book in your hands for reference is great too. Thanks again Mr Smith.
