This does look good. But please be careful when you are masking off the nose section to spray your camouflage paint. This is how I kept breaking the oil cooler off when I built mine. The tape would pull the oil cooler off the engine every time. Finally I just left it off until all of the painting was done...

Your progress looks very good... 🙂

Great progress - pictures and build both serves the team well!

Dang it, now I have another model to replicate in 1/72! Love that scheme, and knowing what the final product will look like, I know I'll want one just like it on my shelf! If he would just slow down a bit, I might get caught up with some other builds before I get distracted...
