neilspen Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Lovely finish on it. I have been looking at the Zvezda 1/72 kits lately and wondered how they would finish. You have admirably demonstrated that they can be made into great looking models. Cheers Neil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
