                        That's really cool! I've seen the model kit but kitbashing your own is an awesome idea!

                        Looking forward to more photos...

                        There is no guilt from watching Anime.

                        The Last Exile was a good show.  Lots of cool things that I'd like to have in plastic.  There is a sequel, if you didn't know, and a kit of a Vanship from that series came out this year.

                        I am anxious to see where you take this!  Subscribed!

                        I am guilty of watching anime if itz got mech,s,droidsor flying things. So a year or so ago while looking around on Netflix for something to watch i came across THE LAST EXILE and gave it a look it had some kinda flying things called Vanships on it and i thought i wonder if i could build one? Some time later while looking thru a Squadron catalog i saw a 1937 Cord kit and my brain came to a screeching halt and screamed Vanship and that how it all started !

                        This is the kit i am gonna put to the saw !
