    ...a neat, crisp, well presented build for sure, Tony.

    The paintwork is top drawer stuff.

    Not seen better for some time - If at all.

    Cheers.

    Well done Tony. The quality of your build makes it really difficult to remember, this is a really old vintage kit. Splendid.

    That's a cracking result Tony. I doubt this old kit has ever looked so good.

    Excellent result Tony. A lot of scratch building and precise paint work has brought this up to date. A real gem
