What I seen so far on this forum is nothing short of perfection ( I hope I said that right

) as everything seen has been a work of art! Looking forward to the future steps of the process until its completion. Larry

Thanks for the complements and interest guys,the scale would be about 1/144 as it is 18 inches long,here`s the picture I am using as a guide,and some more pics in progress.

Some more pics,I think it would have been easier to have bought a kit!
