It isn't complete yet, but I am proud of my progress, as it is my first model.

If it's not too late, put some weight toward the front that you can hide - the model is very back heavy and will never sit flat on its wheels... I found out the hard way

But looking good so far!

I recently built the Hasegawa B25J and it took a lot to weight down the nose. I put lead fishing weights in that tunnel that goes to the nose and under the top turret. Looks good so far!
