I finished my Normandy SR2, and for once it went without a hitch! Thanks to a brilliant design by TC. everything fit perfectly, the graphic texture is excellent, all in all an excellent model. My only modification was to enlarge it....I just can't build anything that small - it originally is about 6-7'' long (getting older really makes seeing small parts too difficult) so I set the printer properties to allow it to print at poster size(on 4 sheets per page, hope I'm saying it right) which gave me a model about 13'' long. Just right! Sealed the pages with my usual Krylon triple thick gloss - 2 coats, followed by 1 more after completion. To keep the fuselage straight and flat, I glued a strip of brass inside, and I would recommend a strip or at least a piece of wire inside the wings for added support. Even without internal frames, its really a strong model, so this is just for insurance. One of the most enjoyable ships I've ever built, thanks TC! My son is a huge Mass Effect fan, so he got this one for his collection. Edge touch up was done with a Sharpie marker and some Apple Barrel acrylics. Hope you like it!
