As the pictures are high res, and some of them fairly upclose, the edges of some of the painting looks a tad scruffy, or white glue behind the rear lights is still curing (takes days for white glue behind lights to cure sometimes), but some of the pictures are magnified beyond what human eyes can see at… Well, they are to me, but by eye the model does look very clean…
I’m not posting these directly into this post, as this would be totally unfair to those not on broadband, and have posted smaller images for those who are on slower connections. You can get the high res pictures here –

Enjoy, comments or critics, just post away… Thanks for looking
