Thanks for your kind words bud! Funny you should mention the paint job. I built this beast back in '82-83 before the internet. To make sure the paint scheme was authentic, I had to go to the library, find a photograph of the ship, make a photocopy and make notes!!! those were the days of hair and immortality!
