    I have to call you out for switching the background of photos of a real aircraft to make it look like a model you built. It is discouraging to excellent modellers who then injure themselves in their futile attempt to compete with you. I wish you would........................wait, that really is a model?! ....but what?.........how did you?....... I.......... Well poo!  Stunning work my good man!:worthy:

    I just made it to the end, and it's limp compared to the variable first series, and almost every FX shot is a rehash of the first series, even down to the 2-cab Vipers becoming 1-cab when they take off.  They had the lid up on one of the full-size mock-ups and you could see all the bolts holding it together inside, and someone had clearly used too long bolts, as they were about an inch past their nuts with zero detail inside to distract the eye.  G80 became Knight Rider with flying bikes, as each story involves them helping a down-and-out to get one up on the bad guys. :rolleyes: I might watch the "new" one next, which is fast approaching 20 years old next year! :o  Here's the airframe in almost 1 piece.

    In between sleeping and writing a review, I managed to do a little thinking.  I know.  Thinking! :o I was wondering how to mask the bomb bay quickly and easily, when I remembered the closed bay that I wasn't using.  I cut some slots in the part and fitted it over the open bay, letting the openers hang out, which I'll wrap with tape later.  The bay fits so well that it won't even need any glue, which is nice :)

    Wow! I can't believe those two pictures are of the same model! The wing just looks completely different between the two photos. Amazing! The detail of the kit appears to be quite nice and you are doing a wonderful job.
