Thanks, Camthalion! :smiley:

(Sorry for the late reply. :-[)

OK, she's almost done. Just a few fix-ups that need to be done. There are dozens that I'm not going to bother about.

This build is far from being close to my best with more issues than you can poke a tree branch at, some down to the kit (which has some surprising issues) but most down to me.

When I've done these I'll take & post some photo's.


She's sans missiles at the moment, but I'm hoping they'll arrive from the USA, courtesy of Mr Jeff Fontaine, soon.

Well, folks, here she is, warts'n'all:


















Looking at the photo's it appears they're hiding most of the faults - I have no problem with that at all! ;D
