This one is one of my latest, the SR-71 from Testors in 1/48th scale. This has been the model on which I had to work more putty and sand more plastic than ever, the injection mold most be very damaged by age, the plastic parts have a lot of injection flaws that need to be corrected, to make things more complicated, I decided to rescribe all panel lines. I used the true details cockpit and wheels, great plus to the kit.

I hope you like it. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hello Eduardo. The Testors kit needed a lot of work it seems. Your patience paid off since the finished model looks very nice. That was an awful lot of putty for a model but judges can see the work that went into it. Looks great.
