Wow, lost of words, my friend @faraomike!
This is a truly wonderful entry, it will look absolutely fantastic in 1/18!
The kit seems to be in extremely high standard.
Looking forward to it!

... In the meantime ...
Even at this scale, some small components need to be made .
And first assembly/colouring/weathering etc .
What I have to say is that scale is a trap: everything is seen and you are dragged into an endless road of constructions and superdetail, without satiating the eyes and saying that it is enough !

One can never have too many details - right? great stuff.

So , this is it ! This build comes to an end skipping my main construction (Me 262) .
A nice , detailfull , unique and easy to build kit , even if you plan to superdetail it . I will not write more , the pictures speak better .
Please feel free to comment or ask anything .
Thank you for looking .

Pictures speak for themselves and we are lost of words from your truly superb result, my friend @faraomike!
