Damn! I wanted to say that this is beautiful first - because it is! The aluminum look is awsome to say the least! I only hope that the Alclad II will be just a beautiful in chrome.

Maybe a picture of a squirrel playing a harmonica will make you feel better?
I scratch built it from sheet styrene, and I made a deeper pocket or the front landing gear so it looked more realistic, what a pain.

Here's what I got so far, rivitless plastic and a basic cockpit tub
Good luck John, you are right, the flying surfaces are way out of scale. I especially paid atention to area in front of verical tail. You could almost see through plastic, lol. Please post on here when done. Shawn G.

Great job! I just started the same kit last night, spent a couple of hours sanding off rivits and filing straight edges on all the fling surfaces. Now onto the cockpit.
That's a beautiful model shawn! Great job indeed.

Yes you are right on the money, the kit is NOT updated except nice decals. Shawn G
Same kit, great decals. Nice work, I plan to try to do one.

Thanks for the info.
I will check for the kit during my IPMS swap meet visits but will be surprised if any improvements were made as the Glencoe re-issues I have purchased in past years included updated decals but made no other improvements.
I simply do not wish to build my original kit.
Yes, Glencoe reboxed the old Strombecker kit. Don't know if they did any improvements.
sbemo13 Yes Paul, it is the "new" release from maybe 2 years ago. I couldn't remember the manufacturer.

Sweet NMF!! Very nicely done. You ought to bring some of that magic over to the NMF GB that just started. =]

You didn't say, but I assume you started with the old Strombecker kit, yes?
Looks great!
