THIS model took FAR longer to build than I expected. Roughly 16 hours this sucker took. The time drainer on this model was the format on the way this model had to be built. All the parts were put together in segments, such as wings, engines, gun turretts, cockpit, bomb bay, nose (bombedere section), and the wheels. Then I had to assemble those segments together. Virtually every section had some extreme detailed work required, such as the engine. Half of those exaust ports (the dimples on the engines) had to be glued on one by one (14 in all) and DAMM those tiny things are hard to put on right without getting glue splatter on the model. The body paint job was 100% unique and not based on the recomendation in the manual. The photo doesn't really do it justice though, as it does look much better over here. The only major flaw is on the right engine (far side) as I mistakenly glued it on lobsided.
