AnonymousDFB1 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Right this will be my build I've not photographed all the sprues as there is too many of them, but here's proof I've not started I'm also using the eduard masks. I'm also considering adding lighting to the kit. I'm going to build 83+21That way I can slide and dice the kit decals to get a different aircraft from the boxing Here's a photo Edited November 25, 2013 by Mish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
