Thanks, SP. Definitely worth it in the end.
So I am almost done. Next shots will be in the finished area. I got the nose weathered and blended with some pastels, made the wheels and tires, rigged the machine and put on the lower wing root fairings. There is still some touch up and I even need a joystick and seat belts as well as a windscreen! Oh...and some blast tubes. So more than I think, but it is definitely super close.
