Would you be able to do a Texan in French service,in Algeria that was armed ?  I've got the old Heller kit and have been wanting to do it one day.

Looks great and I like how those lovely Czech markings are set off by the yellow stripes.

Fantastic is what I would say as well.  Very nicely done and very convincing too.
