    Wings built and attached. Landing gear has been started to get proper height, but I'm going to switch to primer painting and body work before doing more work with the landing gear, so it wont be in the way. Wheels and lower struts are from the Tamiya Buffalo kit.

    This is really a remarkable project. For a first scratchbuild, you are knocking it out of the park.

    Here is the completed project. I am very pleased with it, even though there are some big flaws in my molds that I would want to correct before building another one. Also, this was my first attempt at scribing panels, and my technique could use some refinement. I appreciate all the positive feedback I have gotten during this project, and I hope the iModeler community will enjoy the article I'll be posting soon!
