Not bored yet, going to have to try harder! Ha! Fantastic work again, and the beauty shots look awesome. Really enjoyed following this build.

Well done John. She is one menacing looking bird - and congratulations on finishing this kit given its reputation. How did you get your red wing walk lines on so straight? Did you paint them or are those decals?

Thanks, Kyle and John.
I made stencils and painted them, John. I first photographed the model, both wings, and brought them into Autocad to make the stencils. I did find that the left and right sides are not exactly the same. The lines follow panel lines on the wing which makes doing it easier.

Looks like there was a Batgirl before there was “Batgirl”! Very beautiful build John!

I'll echo the same about the walkways. Perfect. The gleaming paint is right on

Great work, John. I found a pic of one of these some time back when it was new and being shown off on base to civilians, and it was in color. I was stunned at how shiny and black it was. Of all the Widows I've seen built, this one stands out as the cleanest and nicest build yet. And it is a dead ringer for that picture. Incredible work.

This picture right here! This is my fav. Love this angle -- eye level right with the wing. Nice work John.

I just tried to get through the door but my head wouldn't fit! Thank you all. But don't worry, trying to put together tracks for my 1/48 Bandai Panther is shrinking it right back down.
