Yup, here it is. Started and completed in about 9 months. Now why does that have a familiar ring to it? Thanks to all for staying with me for the birth of this one. Gary

I've been building models in eight (!) decades. Does that make me experienced or just old? I'm old! Well, I do have SOME experience!

This turned out very nice! I had to go through the project thread and you really did an amazing job with all of the bodywork. It looks like something that could have rolled out from the factory as a prototype or something like that. Very nicely done.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
