So cool to see her getting towards the finish line - your work gives me the courage to try my luck & skill on her myself... 1/72 Pepsi decals are ordered.

I wonder if it would fit the ancient AMT "Darth Vader's TIE Fighter". Scale on the box is similar, but I have read that the new AMT is actually bigger than 1/32.

Very much looking forward to the Olympic, and happy that I somehow have never brought myself to buying the Revell Olympic. This looks like it has much less pronounced surface detail, which for me is a good thing.

This probably comes a bit late 😉 but the elongated opening on the right side is an exhaust for coolant air from the engine, mixed with some "real" hot exhaust (which explains why it shows some sooting, but not a lot, and not all over its length.

Thanks for showig us! Looks like the opening for the early in-fuselage unguided rocket pack is there... I wonder if the rocket pack itself can be displayed.

It is my humble opinion that the quality of the water will determine the percieved quality of the model. A mediocre model on a top water base will look top, a top model on a mediocre water base will look mediocre. Since I suck at bases, I will not try waterline for that reason firstly, but secondly I do prefer all of the ship being visible: stabilisers, rudders, propellers, sonar domes. So, full hull all the way for me

I'm in.

Great review, thank you! Even though 1/48 is not my scale, I am very happy because sooner or later they are going to scale it down to 1/72. ❤️
