And very nice as well especially as the brass parts can tarnish and finger mark. Yours looks really very nice indeed. Hope you enjoyed your build. Happy Modelling

Lovely finished model, have you coated the brass or will you be polishing when it begins to tarnish? Steve

Thanks everyone for your kind words. It was a very satisfying build...an extremely well made kit. I have to say, the only problematic part of the build was the shear weight and size. Very cumbersome toward the end. The biggest piece of advice I would give is this...I wore latex gloves throughout the entire process. My bare hands never touched it. Quite a pain...but well worth it in the end. ON MY BENCH DeAgostini Millenium Falcon, DeAgostini Spitfire, 1:75 Woody JOE Horyuji Five-Storey Pagoda, HMS Victory
