Looking really good! In modelling, thinner is usually better so well worth the effort. And glad you perservered with the paint - came up very nicely in the end!

To be clear, I started it 6 - 7 years ago, but it spent most of that time untouched in its box! (Well, I occasionally got it out to look at, but usually put it away again muttering 'soon, soon.....') Probably spent no more than 6 months actually 'on the bench'.

Thanks everyone :) I was having a look at the F2007 last night - they definitely resolved some of the design issues from this kit, so hopefully it won't be too bad.

They both work really well! Great concept and nice work

Hi guys! I've not been here for a looong time now... but with everything going on at the moment, I decided the time was right to pull this still unfinished model out of it's box and get it done at long last! There have been a couple of house moves since the last update, but fortunately I managed to ...
