That is pure awesome on a stick! Wonderful backstory and a unique subject

Thanks guys!

I got really frustrated on the backstory as my PC crashed half-way through, and I was foolish enough to write it in Notepad to be quick. Of course, Notepad has no handy autosave, so I managed to flush a bit of work. The revised version flows better than the first did by my recollection, and I'm going to keep telling myself that until I believe it.

I'm surprisingly jazzed about this GB after some initial trepidation. I think a lot of it has to do with the generous time frame. I may actually shoot for 4 builds (including Death Parrot) before July. We'll see if my sanity holds.

That's just superb, Proditor! I love the colour scheme and the story behind it, and it's a handsome beast. Very well done indeed.

Thanks guys!

The scheme is "technically" accurate, I grabbed it from here: http://www.insigniamag.com/span17.html

Additonally, I just realized I never mentioned the canopy. That's from an airfix Focke-Wulf 190, suitably sanded down until it fit, and then with the raised lip for the front of the canopy/fuselage mating out of styrene.
