Looking very nice. Are those grills from Nico? I have 2 and a half more to do! one of the two reasons I haven't finished mine as it takes me about 2 hours to complete one of those grills! Yours look very good!

Thanks Fett_ish,...Yes they are, brilliant PE from Nico.....I had to buy magnifying goggles to put them together....yep they take up a lot of your time

OK, underside pics, still WIP....but a comparison to the real 32" (first pic only).....doing Ps comps like this helps me see what I've done right/wrong, light/heavy

Thanks for being here

I've returned to finish this big beast, in my absence from Falcon work, I'm much more happy with airbrushing, so I've done touch ups on the DeAgo
Doing the cockpit interior, electrics, then gluing the top & bottom together

More progress photos soon
