stevehnz Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 That is some very fine modelling on display there & looks great to me. It's also about a 1000% better than the old Airfix one I did in these colours quite some time ago. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
