No matter what the subject is, modeling builds your skills every time. This is certainly a cool model! I have an uncle who does aircraft, he has 160 models untouched, 3 in progress, and 14 done! At the rate he works on them and buys i'll end up with them. From what i know, some aircraft are harder than cars, and to get it to the point where it isn't toyish is very difficult. You did good, and i think everyone apreciates a good model.
