Excellent work Ken, you should build more of your models clean like this, they look much better as is proven here.
Definitely your best yet in my opinion - well done.

Have to agree with all the other comments Ken, it sure is a stunner. The finish you've achieved in the paintwork is beautiful!

Thanks very much guys, I'm so proud of this one even though it's not the most detailed kit I've ever built, but there are so many things I think I've done better than before, the interior the decals and the paintwork, those decals were a real challenge and I was patting myself on the back with them, then I put clear coat on it and dropped it whilst it was still wet, even so I managed to wet it out without going through the decals, then recoated it and as you can see it still turned out like a mirror finish.

Ken Well done i remember that the decal stripes are very thin and difficult to manage on this one so credit to you for getting them all on so neatly. Seasons greetings to you and your good Lady. Happy Modelling
