This is a superb build by Eric, to say the least!
On the back of receiving some great Fisher kits in the past I pre-ordered the X-1A & it arrived in the UK a couple of weeks ago. I was very impressed.
I'd intended building the white version if the 1A due to having little experience with bare metal finishes but seeing Eric's build has inspired me to order a second kit to be built as bare metal 1B. I only hope I can do the kit justice!
