That reminds me I need to put some foam on the arms on mine. That's a nice, clean build Toshi! Your speed and progress is seriously inspiring to a guy like me just starting out. Good call on the visor. I'm glad I got one. I was going to do 72nd scale planes, so I knew I would need one, but even with doing this 35th scale armor piece, and looking over some of the 48th scale planes I plan to do, it's just as indispensable. The better the work is up close, the better it appears the further away you go - even if the close-in work is done beyond what detail the naked eye can pick out, it is still noticeable. I'm with you on needing one 24 hrs haha!

To jetmaker,

I never thought of adding foam into the wing section, great tip, I'll have to remember that!  Yes, the visor is heaven.  You are correct in that the more detail gets put in accurately, the depth of scale 10 folds.  

I've been trying to shop around for a visor for about a week or more, they were cost prohibitive until I went to Harbor Frieght and Tools.  You can't beat the prices there.  Thank you for the read and reply.
