I'm not much of a wingy-thing guy, but that really does look fantastic! What can you tell us about the build?

Thanks guys,
The kit is basically straight out of the box, not requiring much added detail as the kit is brilliant. I added some plumbing, the remove before flight tags, handpainted the bomb grafiti and carefully weathered it. It would seem that Academy are gearing up on their kits in general, making life easier for the modeller.
