There are some who get into really intricate techniques for more detail, and I'm sure DH will speak for himself, but those are the basics.

I built the TWA "Twin Globe" version of this kit, but just kept it configured clean and put it on a custom stand.
Thanks Jet, I appreciate the response. It looks like a lot of technique and a ton of patience needed to build it. Either way, DH did some real nice work on his 707.
