damn - I great to see one of these being built. I have been contemplating getting this but I don't think I hate myself enough to justify that amount of work to get a kit up to spec. I think I'd rather watch someone else do it :) Thanks also for linking that tutorial on window tinting - that is a very novel way to get the job done and with the range of pens out there, your colour choices are massive,
The main kit is injection molded plastic like a typical off the shelf kit. The included reskit details are molded resin. The bomb bay kit I added on is 3d printed. For this plane in this scale, yes this is currently the only option.
The main kit I got from a hobby shop called Victory Models. I think they're a distributor for BPK. As for the detail kits, I got them direct from the maker or various online stores.

What upset me most was the cost. It wasn't just bad, it was expensive. For the cost I expected some idiot proofing.
I have a question about the canopy and that is did you clear coat if first? Also did you paint the inside of the canopy? And why?
It's a 3D printet kit, right ? :) And the only game in town ?

Why did you go to the trouble of the gear bay detail, when you modeled it gear up? A LOT of work for nothing
It was there and I could.
