It was a lot of fun...but took a lot of time to do right. Particularly if you want to detail it out with the photo etch metal parts...the railing, sensors, etc. Then the aircraft builds.

Doing all of the small .50 caliber machine guns and putting the armor plate protection on each was pretty tedious and time consuming.

But I enjoy it. I probably have 200-300 hours in that kit. I had about 1000 hours in my:

USS Ronald Reagan

...and

USS IWo Jima, LHD-7

Both of which have fully lit hanger decks.

Needless to say you have a boatload of patients and a very steady hand.

Good work.
