Yes I do build the metal kits too!

My trio of Skytrex Gothas. More work than I had hoped, had to drill all the struts and even up the wings.

The wing thickness had to be adjusted as well, quick to do on a table top belt sander!

Added the mounting ball on the bottom-love the gun tunnel relief as well

Fun to paint! Not too many colors to choose from

Used the Wing Nut Wings colors and decals

Nice to get a crew with a model kit! These guys have been in service for 6 months and are starting to show some wear and chipping-typical of the metal models. It is nice to be able to re-bend the nose gun though!

Heavy on the stands and tippy, I like the weight of the models but the Shapeways are still better players IMHO
