Be still my beating heart… you’ve done a wonderful job which truly brings this old kit to life! I have the same in my stash, in the original 1970’s style of packaging, but never really dared to get along with it. Your photos prove that it can be made to look just as good as anything produced today!
And another point: your rigging is perfectly aligned. What’s the technique, did you apply it after all the painting, or before?

Rigging was accomplished post assembly. Yes this kit sure can shine.

That’s just marvelous. I remember this old kit well, and you have really done the job here. I gave you a well-deserved “10” on this.
