Ratch Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I bought this for a fiver from someone who'd done most of the build. Without knowing their vision, I merely finished it off. One of the few Airfix 1/24 kits I'd not built before, it was a challenge that should stand me in good stead when I build another. Without any further ado...

Bertie McBoatface Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 That's really good. Perhaps a little shiny but that could easily be PX-24 anti-corrosion treatment. Fine work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
