All in all, I enjoyed doing this one. You'll note that I replaced the wing walk stripes as the first ones were a little too hefty. The front boarding door/steps are not quite accurate and If I were to do another, I'd scratch build that part.

Thanks...As a rule when I go to a contest I just take everything that I've built since the last time I was there (over the past year). The good, the bad, and the ugly. Saves me all that decision making about what to take vs. what not to take. So, yeah...I'll show it around. Nobody else around here builds Noratlii. Might as well show'em what one looks like. :grin:

Hi Barry
Fantastic Noratlas don't think I've seen this built before. How are you going to top this one?
