Fantastic David, you have inspired me, I have just rushed out and bought this kit. What a monster!!!!

That's why someone called it "The Big A-- Bird". Super craftsmanship, DD.

Thanks, guys. RodN, I suggest you check all the parts of the clear piece to insure they are as free from blemish as possible. I CALLED Guillows as soon as I opened the kit cause the front clear piece was a mess. They promptly sent a replacement but the canopy portion of it has a big crease in it and the front piece, while much better, still has a flaw which looks like a hair was in the molding process. The lady told me the clear plastic comes off a big roll. I would also suggest you check all the white plastic pieces, as well. Some of the formers in my kit were "die crushed" due to soft wood but that's not important to me since it's all solid now, anyway.

That is so disheartening to hear. When you pay 70-80$ for a kit, one would expect decent parts. I feel reluctant to buy one now. Great build by the way, very entertaining with the off-line shots.

And some people had ruffled feathers when I complained about Guillows and their quality control!
