You guys are makin' me blush- thanks! Here're some in-progress pics:

I've posted this on other forums, but had to show it off here as well. It's the Monogram 1/48 kit with aftermarket galore. I haven't built a plastic airplane model in thirty years (yikes! I'm old!). I've never: postshaded, used PE, used a resin aftermarket set, never dropped a flap or moved a surface, sprayed Future or used a vac canopy. Squadron, True Details, Eduard, Super Scale, Koster, Cutting Edge, Aires, Verlinden. The base is Verlinden's Compass Stand with foamcore surround. Figures to come! There's a Tamiya Kettenkrad and Verlinden Starter cart, too.... Lots of scratchbuilding
