It was a pretty good fit, I had some trouble with the engines and exhausts mounting in correct spots. Corrugation is no problem really, just need to use the decal softeners on your decals when applying them. I used both kit decals and after market to get the correct serial code of the movie aircraft.

The antennae is no proble as long as you are careful when lifting off the roof and don't stretch it beyond it's reach. I use E.Z Line for antennae so it has stretch in it. Clint is the tall one lol

Grant, what a great looking build and wonderful concept!  I've got that waiting in the stash and looking forward to it.  How did you like the fit and were the corrugated surfaces difficult to work with?  How does the antenna wire stay in place when the top is lifted?  Most importantly, which one is Clint?Smile

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.

It's a nice model for sure, just takes up a bit of room, wing span is about 2 feet.

Excellent attention to detail and getting the winter camouflage just like the aircraft featured in the movies opening segment. A great tribute to a legendary movie!
