Thanks for the kind complements guys...
@stickyfingers. Well, to tell the truth the kit is 1/250 so it's not too big. Don't be intimidated to jump into this one. I cheated and blew the kit up 250% to get 1/100. It was a tremendous effort and many assemblies took on a large amount of detail due to the enlargement. Have no fear, it's a much more reasonable build at 1/250.
@ohiomike. I wish I did have it under glass. At over 74" long it's a monster of a display case required. Running $750 or more for a custom case.
I just can't afford that. I've treated the kit with print sealer though, so the colors will be well preserved, and I dust it often with compressed air so that the dust build up doesn't take a toll on her. I'll get a case one day, but not soon.
