Aggie,

To me it looks quite good. Very interesting aircraft.

Thanks hogfans!

I can’t get over the start to finish times. Amazing results for such a quick build. Something like this would take me dang near a year to complete.

Thanks for your kind words, Mustang!

I am actually surprised that I knocked this one so quickly. Literally started work on September 1, worked a few hours on September 2, then during the week maybe put in a grand total of an hour’s worth of work, and finally, when my girls all left for a weekend camping trip (how convenient), I had the place to myself and nothing but free time. No tickets to last weekend’s A&M game, but lots of time at the work bench watching all the earlier games on the TV I keep in my workshop. Then after church on Sunday I wrapped everything up.

I’ve done builds quickly in the past, but never over the course of essentially 5 days, especially not a build of this scale and with this many parts.

That’s a smart looking build you’ve got there! ICM has really filled an empty market lately with all their 1/48 Luftwaffe bombers.

Thanks Chad! How about that magical football the other night, the one that can just move a bit to the right despite the laws of physics and simple geometry and curve into the end zone?

Ugh… that one hurt!

Made an update that I thought some might like to see on this 4-year-old build. See the bottom of the initial post.
