My childhood dreams becoming true...

Album image #1
I am really positively surprised with the quality of the mouldings and their fit. 
 

Album image #2
Addressing some moulding and fit imperfections - not many of them in fact. 
 

Album image #3
Some progress here - tucking 20 grams of weight into the nose was quite a challenge. I am still pondering on which configuration of the wings I like more 😉 
 

Album image #4
Main paintinig done. Now to the most risky process - applying the original decals... 
 

Album image #5
The process of decalling went surprisingly troublefree (taking into account the age of the original decal sheet). Now to smaller bits... 
 

Album image #6
Finished. I must admit it was quite enjoyable experience. 
 

Album image #7
Finished. This build has given me some idea for some future(istic) model... 
 

Album image #8
Finished. 
 

Album image #9
Finished. 
 

Album image #10
