Ok she is about finished.ICM is known for their complex kits but it was not too bad.the plane is much heavier than a typical 1/72 kit due to the high parts count.I am pleased with the result.

Mounted up the landing gear and decided to paint the vertical stabilizers white.The white will make the red stars "pop"since the instructions do not call for red stars on the topside wings.

Decided to resume this one after it took an unfortunate dive to the floor splitting the fuselage open.I threw it in a box in disgust!I feelmuch better after how well my Spitfire came out so I decided to repair the damage.Updates to follow.
