sort of given up on this one, so calling it done..........kind of lost enthusiasm which i think is cos of all the problems ive had along the way......i get to a point where i just want to move on to something else but i hate having anything on the shelf of doom, not my way

first time using a lot of PE which was an eye opener.................ran out of paint and had to redo with a close shade...........splatter nozzle on my air brush blocked and needs a mega clean so it hasnt got weathered in the way i planned

Hi Paul
Well despite all the grief this gave you it has turned out nicely. It is small even at 1/35.
Time to move on to something new.

Very well done.

I don't see any problem but will look out for the issues when I break open my kit.

Cheers,
Richard

It seems she wasn't very nice to you, but I like it. The base sets it all off nicely.

Paul,
Despite the issues you had, it has turned out to be a fine build. Onwards and upwards.
