Michael,
Congratulations on completing this enormous model. Out of curiosity, where and how are you displaying it? Just out of curiosity, how long did it take to complete it?

The level of detail you maintained throughout the build with the addition of PE parts, detail painting, and various degrees of weathering, is truly at an exceptional level. One out of four engine anti-glare panels is worn, the props each show a somewhat different level of wear and tear, the small amounts of oil stains and flows from the engines on to the cowl flaps vary but look so realistic. Attention to details with your air brush is how you reproduced the effects of heat on the engine exhausts and turbo charges. They look as realistic as I've ever seen on a model. I could go on & on, but everywhere I looked, this is the type and level of attention I saw.

Thank you for sharing your work with us. I look forward to your next build blog and feature.

Beautiful job. Kudos (Applause) to you. It's a shame the kit maker left that nasty step in the nose. Not much you can do with that other than what you did. I really enjoyed all the pictures of it. The metal finish is very hard to get right on single engine a/c I personally won't even try it on a four engine beast like this. Very nice, Thank you

Not only a fantastic kit, definitively very nice work as well. Its an inspiring model. Your metal finish seems spot on!

I am speechless - super work!

Superbly done from start to finish Michael, an epic undertaking which you accomplished with knobs on
