This just landed today. Wow! Impressed as . . . . . . can be.
This is a really superb model and I'm super impressed already.
More sprue shots here . . . . .

Engraved detail and raised rivets.
Some very feint sink marks around this area. You can't really see them in this view.

Thanks for publishing the sprue shots, it looks like a nice kit, the open panel with the panel fixtures is a nice touch.
Regards Splash

Being unable to get into the attic to pull down models from the stash, I am trying to complete dozens still sitting around the model room.
Here is one. All hand painted in Humbrol Acrylics. Varnish is 20% Tamiya Flat Base to 80% Kleer. Just a big flat brush.
Some finished photos.
