The build that almost “killed me” :), Testor’s 1/48 SR-71 Blackbird – gears up.

I’ve added True Detail’s cockpit – which I regret later since not much can be seen with closed canopy.

Initially, I wanted to build a hi-vis version but the decals deteriorated once it touches the water. I gave the decal sheet a layer of clear coat and switch to lo-vis instead.

Pilots are modified from Hasegawa’s 1/48 pilots -decapitated, butchered and crammed into the cockpit tubs.

Re-scribe the whole thing since the panel lines are raised and some corrected. Scratch build the cameras since nothing was included to fill in the camera bay.

Despite all the hardship, this is the one of kit that I treasured most :).
