My elder Boyo is just finishing one up. Just the decals left.

I would not suggest the Conquest as your next project. You will need some time to come back from the edge after the Explorer's nacelles before you do any more.

Oh, c'mon. It's not THAT hard. Here's the last QCC I built. If you're jonesing for some REAL frustration and naughty word useage, try the Black Star Voyager!

The explorer took longer than I thought it would, and at the end, I had to get a bit creative on the fin area, as I bought one of the misprints with all lefthand nacelle decals, but it came out just fine. I have a black star voyager in the build queue, but I'm in no rush.

I actually made some decent progress after I posted that first message. I got one nacelle finished and it looks just like it's supposed to look. I'm actually pretty impressed, with both me and the kit.

We got out first flight in at Bong today. D12-3. Cracked on fin on landing - but just a crack.
