Well, I had to revert back to a more basic style of side covers. The version with the armpit thrusters were not going to look good in operation as half of a door would be missing on each. Oh well. But I was capable of making a much better side cover piece that wraps around the cockpit and sets secure on the body. Still need to add the panel lines and then sides cover is done. Feeling good.

You probably can, but then the jerky would taste like paint and your build will forever be known as “the beef.” 😅

Side covers. not quite done as there is a bit more modifying and securing them in place that needs to be done.

Best review ever. Got all the minor and large details. 😜

Thank you all for enjoying this build and all the wonderful compliments. It’s really endearing to read your kind words or encouragement. The custom 1/55 is a true sight to behold. Long live the KING!!!

Still filling in the gaps.

Very true. That is something that was previously discussed and a concern since Toynami is known to cheap out.

WOW. That’s a really nice compliment. Thank you. If only I had the manufacturing capabilities I would make this available to everyone.

Maybe he thinks he’s stealthier than your SR-71 Blackbird. 😜 Gotta give ‘em love.

Finally. Upgraded my chest hinges. The originals did an amazing job, but I can see they were never meant to last. But these little buggers are what set off a tirade of improvements. Note that I can just hold the cheat plate and the nosecone stays in fighter mode. Finally, gotta love the capabilities of this neck. Reminds me of a certain box art.

Looks nice, but seems a tad short. I think Sculpts from MLZ22 nailed the scale and perspective of their size.

I think for the most part the Bandai version will prevail worldwide. Toynami’s version might have equal share of sales in U.S.
