    Building this kit proves you are a better man than I am, Spiros (@fiveten). The multi-wheel gear and photoetch hinges on the gear doors are enough to convince me to skip this kit. Getting this far is a testament to your modeling skills, patience, and perseverance.

    Thanks my friend @gblair! Indeed, truth be told, all these challenges the kit poses are at times demotivating and that seems to be the reason why I take one small step at a time.

    Getting the jig right is already a challenge, Spiros @fiveten
    Seems like all is leveled now, let it dry sufficiently is the only thing required.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! Hope the glue has set strong, these are some heavy stabilators!

    These kits are proof of the answer to the question "How do you eat an elephant?" ("one bite at a time").

    While the kits are pigs, if you manage to slog through to finish one - a real character test (as a friend says, character tests are to find if you have one) - they can look really good.

    And you are doing that here!

    Another tough kit well done, Spiros (@fiveten). Looking forward to the final lap.

    Thanks my friends @tcinla and @gblair! Yep, this kit will fight you back and keep you down if you let it 😬

    Side gear doors added, in reality they are much closer to each other...
