You are brave Scott,having built the 1 72 scale Dora I wish you luck and I will be watching, it will be great when you have finished and have built the new wing to your house to hold it !!!.

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the great comments and I am glad you like it so far, plus I intend on priming and painting section by section and I will weather it once it is all together.
