After 13.5 hours I am calling this one done. This has been a wonderful day of bench time. No interruptions from work and family politely spends the day out. No doubt so they don't hear the language emitting from the work area.

So here we go. I have not decides on the droopy antenna yet.

Thanks to all who stood by with encouragement.

Glamour shots tomorrow.

That was crazy fast, I missed the whole thing.

Really really nice looking model. Great work to have done it in so short a time.

This is an incredible build in such a short time! Wow. All credits to you, Jeff.

If I didn't know, I would never have known this was a blitz build.

She's lovely, Jeff. I really like what you did with the undersides ref colours, especially the control suraces. That was a top idea.
I can't believe this was Blitzed. Superb build!

I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....
