Well, ..... I'm the "Choctaw whisperer" :ha: . She went into submission and I can gladly tell you folks, I finished her just now.
And man, I really grew fond of this kit. As you all mentioned, it sure is very satisfying to know although she gave me hell Ikept going and I acquired a new set of skills in tackling new projects!

Enough talk, now some pics!

Oh my that does look super-duper, you had me worried when there was orange everywhere and you said it had run, but the finished model looks great.

It looked worse than it was, I wiped most off and let it dry out. A little polish did the job before applying the navy blue.

It was nerve-wrecking at first, but in the end it paid off.

Thanks for your nice comments and thanks you all stood by me.
