Shar2 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Fancied doing something a bit bigger than my recent fare, but without bloomin' dazzle camo for a change. So grabbed this out of the stash along with its add-on sets from Fujimi and Master Barrels set. The hull, with all of its bulkheads makes for a really strong and sturdy assembly.
