Well I was running severly out of time to finnish this model before the 14th of april for the spring Model show and contest at the Shearwter aviation museum.So I put a drive on to finnish and forgot to take pics of the remaining progress . I actually finnished the model two hours before the contest started ( the time it took to drive to the museum ). The effort was worth it as my M1A1 Abrams tank took 2nd place in the wwII armor category and the Viper took 1st in Sci Fi . The icing on the cake was being awarded Best of Show for the Viper !! I was stoked to say the least !
