It may be that this kit bugged you all the way, the result is astonishing! What a beauty!💥👍💥

[@mightyjjk1298]

Thanks Dave. Yeah, it was a challenge, but I did actually enjoy it, except for the decals. Definitely the biggest model I've ever built.

Very nice completion John. Watching your progress gave me flashbacks of when I was building mine 😊 those long thin red walkways on the wing sure fought you. Phenomenal job on the inside of the exhaust outlets, very realistic looking. Yes the intake cones are supposed to point downward at a 10 degree angle.👍

@@davidchin350 Thanks for checking in David. These challenging kits keep us on our toes and make the nicer ones better appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving Buddy.

John, I know the struggles of this kit and the "new" Revell one and I have to tell you....the way you hung in there and finished it and how great it looks is pretty inspiring man. I'm currently struggling with some other kits and seeing this just makes me feel like "man John hangs in there with it so I can too" . This SR-71 is great and one heck of a build to have on the shelf (that's what I say to myself when I walk by mine at least hahaha). Fantastic work as always

Thanks so much Joe. That really means a lot. Glad I could help in that way. Believe me, I wanted to abandon this thing a few times and switch to the Tamiya BMW 7.5 and sidecar, i.e, an actual quality kit, but it was for a group build (and it wouldn't fit back in the box 🤫) so I figured what the heck. Struggling through the tough kits makes the nice ones all the more sweet. Thanks again and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

It sure had its challenges John, glad you worked through them, turned out really nice, Tamiya ts 29 is a great color, Happy Thanksgiving buddy, 🦃

[@mightyjjk1298]

@@ramblers69 Yes, those Tamiya spray cans are great. I did 2 motorcycles with the gloss aluminum and now this plane and really impressed. May start going with them more often. Happy T-Day to you as well Tom.

Hi John. A long but in every kind successful way, which this model has made. Great work and the result is a jewel for every showcase. A cool airplane for reconnaissance flights. Please send me some photos (5-10) of your SR-71 for the later end-compilation on email. Best wishes and much fun with your next idea in your hobby. Joachim
