Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thank you sir, especially the kind and positive words. I always try to make my aircraft builds that much more better than the last.

Here is a few more extra photos of what I have completed thus far.

You are doing a fantastic job on a great kit. Everything is looking great. That engine looks like a kit in itself. Take your time and enjoy the build, I know I do when I'm at the workbench.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

Yes, you so correctly stated that the Merlin engine looks like an entire Kit by itself. I must agree with that statement, I've spent the last couple of days assembling the engine just to get it where I'm happy with my outcome. Thank you for taking some time out to critique my build.

I really love the fact that you are branching out into new territory. Expanding your "bag of tricks" and experimenting with new techniques. You are growing phenominally in your skills my friend and this is another build in tetimony to that.

Fantastic progress and very well done, Toshi. Keep on, keepin' on. :D
