Sky Keg Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Very nice Mark. I can attest that this is by no means a “shake & bake” kit along the lines of a Tamiya or Eduard brand. The results of your efforts are evident and I applaud you!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 She’s a triumph, Mark, and encouraging for my proposed builds of this kit. Those panel lines look a bit deep and wide, though :(. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
