Beautiful build! I didn't know there was a 72nd scale resin Thunderchief kit out there. It really looks great. I have the old 48th scale Monogram kit in my collection, I may get to it someday.
Thank you Clint, I just finished editing the article after you replied.
Another fantastic job and excellent result, Allan! A striking scheme that you replicated perfectly! Excellent article too with very helpful in-progress shots.
