Wow!!! Very ambitious. I haven't been around lately so I'll say Welcome to the boards, even if I'm a couple months late doing so!!

Small Update but had to share. Installed the Wing Landing Gear and All Gear Doors today. Added 3 open A/C Pack exhaust doors to the belly with some thin stock styrene.
Next up, decal engine cowls, paint the leading edge flaps and install both engines an L/E flaps. Oh yes, the windshield too! Might just have this finished by the end of March :D

The engines and leading edge Variable Camber Flaps and Krueger Flaps have been installed. Took some time and a bit of trimming, but it was well worth it. Still more to go before decals are applied. It's getting there.

Well, I got even more creative today and added some "corrosion inhibiting compound" ( an enamel light rust colored wash from AK Interactive paints). Eventually I'll decal this beast and call it quits. Just another OCD moment :lol:

Ok, decals are complete. Some minor touch up, wiring to the base and she's done. Here's a preview before I post the final shots in the Completed Models section.

Brilliant!! I do like the corrosion on the slats and stuff. Looks real to me!
