That's really turned our nicely Joe, despite the problems!
Very well done.

Thanks Andrew. I don’t think she’ll win in any shows but it doesn’t look bad in the display case.

But… it’s Hasegawa… Those are supposed to be one of the top dogs 😉 I’m sorry to hear that this one fought you so much. But your end result sure looks good. Very well done Joe!

That's what I thought too but the entire nose of this aircraft is separate from the rest of the fuselage. Cockpit housing/ nose landing gear are all one module. I found it to be one of the most difficult aircraft kits to assemble for me yet. On a plus side, this is the BEST kit of this aircraft in scale. LOTS of detail and other than the nose module, the rest of it goes together rather smoothly.

They're that difficult to put together? That doesn't bode well...I have a couple waiting in my stash. Looks like you powered through the tough parts, though. Great finish!

Thanks fellas. dupes: It probably isn't as bad if you go with the OOB cockpit but the Aries pit module was very similar to the OOB one in terms of assembly. I need to make sure I've got another one in my stash. One day I will build another one of these.

I remember your struggles with this one but you beat it into submission with a top notch result! (you should build something with wings again, like in a group, like a BF109 or FW190.... wink wink nudge nudge)

The Arado 234 has a particularly challenging canopy, and you did it well. The resin cockpit and engines are also very nice! Hand it to the Germans to come up with a fiendishly complex to model canopy that comprises plexi panels set on a black frame, with countersunk screws with washers added from the outside!

Thanks you guys. TJ.....if I remember right there is a kitchen sink in there somewhere. Real G That was indeed a tough canopy framing to get right. Thank you both for the good comments.

Thanks Jeremy! Wow, problems or not that turned out stunning. I will never know that you had issues with it. Fantastic work!!! I do appreciate that Brandon. This one did give me quite a bit of hell BUT........after 3 years I managed to get it all finished. Awesome! I think I remember following this one at FSM. Thank you Chad. I did build this one over there. Glad all three of you guys are here.
