Well I have a ton of models I have bought over the years, but never assembled them, so finally I took My Doyusha Tristar Scale 1:100 (big sucker) and assembled it it took me like 25 hours to do it.

I really wanted TWA c/s or Gulf Air but this huge size only comes with Ana colours (similar to old Eastern colors).
Anyways I have Airbuses a Dc10, a1:72 Concorde and a huge 727 ready to assemble, any nuts about models here?
Preasembled models do not count I am talking about the ones you actually paint and assemble etc.

Here is a pic of the result:

That's a good looking model! Did you paint it yourself or are those decals?
