Uncle Uncool Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Wow, Ricky... This is impressive, really. I always wanted to do something like this with one of my Monogram Phantom kits. Dunno I would have the guts to make it on a Hasegawa - much less the awesome Zoukei-Mura kit - but the idea is Phantastic! Me is speechless (which is perhaps not a bad thing at all ). Patiently following this build. Cheers, Unc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
