...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.

Great result from such an old kit Tony.

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
 
Superb job Tony.

The result you’ve achieved belies its vintage pedigree, excellent stuff 👏👏
