Looks good. My problem would be getting the same color on each subassembly just because I mix paints like a drunk.

It's going to turn into a stupid mess.
I'm not even confident enough to say "Hold my beer".
...Wow. The Covid gouging just keeps on and on and on 
How would one even ship that thing!

Idk. After I stopped laughing at the price, out of curiosity I zoomed in on the pics. I see several basic kit parts that are omitted.
I showed it to my wife and just like that she's all in on me spending all day in the workroom, and told me to work faster...lol.

That price is a "Dream on McDuff" price. I have seen finished ( I mean REALLY NICELY FINISHED) Garage Kit figures that are usually a production number of 40 to 50 at the most AND that finished figure is done by a well known name, AND it has been out of production for a number of years, go for a price from $1200 to $2k. I have several that are out of production that were quite popular and that folks are looking for them that will bring an unfinished price of $500 compared to the $150-$200 they brought when new. These are not recasts, and are in perfect condition. Have not tried to do anything with any of them as I am not where I want to be with painting skills yet.

That is one funky ship design.

Yeah, they do interesting subjects, BUT, about 60% of the time they lame ass the details or even the basic shapes on things.
Yep, Trumpeter gave us all the internal plumbing on the Thunderbolt for the superchargers. Interesting lesson on how the aircraft was configured but dang!
Hey Tim, if I could suggest something. Let's add a bit to those block and tackles on the booms. Knowing how you're going to finish this those things deserve a bit more than just a 2d flat of PE I would think.

Still it is becoming a neat looking build Tim!
There is a new 1/350 kit of the Pennsylvania that really looks nice, but the PRICE! I am just going to skip it.

Is it a Very Fire kit?
Speaking of price, I'm starting to look at the offerings in 1/200 scale.

It is this kit and it is already back out of stock. There is a slightly cheaper one and it is out of stock already as well.
