Thanks for the compliments folks they're really appreciated!

I agree with Daz but for the price I paid the Tsukuda -31 is a bargin!

I do plan on having my -31 in the Rare Silver livery, The only pics I have found are of someone else's model seen in this link:

If anyone could find a pic of a real -31 in silver I'd really appreciate it.

I've done some more work on the 31 but I know I won't be able to complete her to a good standard by the 31st sorry folks.
Pics of the latest progress will be posted in a few hours.

It was quite an ambitious build for the short time alloted to a GB Mav. I'm sure you'll do a great job on it and I'm looking forward to seeing it :)

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

That's a shame Mav but Dazzled is right, this GB is not long enough to do this kit justice. That's why I didn't build mine. :roll:

I think you have made the correct decision and finish it in your own time.

Same reason I gave for changing mine, not a quick model to build
