    This was a fun build for me. It was the first time I used photo etch and the first for some painting techniques. The model went together pretty well. I can't think of any real problems at this point in time other then the itty bitty flap connectors and bomb clips on the belly of this beast. It was also a scary moment for me when I first started cutting into the fuselage for the access panels. I was committed from the beginning. lol
