In this video we construct, paint, and detail this latest release and very large 1/48 scale plastic model of the iconic SR-71 Blackbird strategic reconnaissance, high speed, high altitude spy plane -- Revell model kit #04967. At the point that the model was about 70% complete and the video at 40%, I lost my doggie, Mooch, due to a freak accident and very cruel twist of fate. I nearly shelved this project permanently, but 3 weeks later I decided to push on in his honor. However, the original zest I had was understandably lacking and the overall final result suffered.
