That is a fantastic replica, one you can be very proud of.
I know you put a lot of time and effort into this project and it shows in the end results.

Always great to see a build come to fruition. Especially an Awesome one like this. That engine is really something special, as is the whole model. Looking forward to your next project.

Pretty Spiffy conversion there Gary, I am sure this one tried you a little as none of those kits from that era are very fun to work with.  The very first pic in this build gave me a headache because I knew what you were up against, the rest just made me glad it was YOU and not me.  You pulled it off and did well and I have to say, I would put that on my shelf anytime.  When you get tired of looking at it, send it my way, I'll make room in my display case.

Hey George....it's good to hear from you and thanks for the compliment. I hear you on the HEADACHE thing. Those kits are pretty cool, but they do have their issues....don't they? All in all...I'm glad it is finished and one day I might part with it.....maybe...LOL
