Outstanding. I've got this one in the stash, but I'm a little intimidated. This may inspire me to tackle it!

Super excited about this one! -
Lovely Europa, it looks like an S1B or a very early S2? My dad and I have a sizable Lotus collection, and I was almost born in the white Twin-Cam Special

Hi gents, Here's my 1/48 MiG-25PD based on the (awful) Kitty Hawk kit.
