As I said elsewhere, that's a stunning build with an immaculate finish. I wish I could come close to that level of perfection.

What a wonderful build of a tricky kit.  I love it!

[Clunkmeister]

Yeah it's a bit of a tricky kit, but oh man are the results stunning.  I'm ready to do another, and this may be  my scheme. The only thing I'll add is the amazing AMUR Reaver flaps.

Are those the kit decals??  Flawless work!  Congrats! 

may I put this on our Facebook page?
