    Amazing results from a very basic Kit! This is an impressive model, and shows what talent and persistence can produce from the barest of materials. When I scrolled back to the first entry in the Under Construction Thread I was blown away by the first photo of the Vacuform sheet as compared to the beautiful replica here. Detail, crafted lozenge, great finish and weathering, and solid construction are all here; you should be extremely proud of a one of a kind and beautifully done Model!
   Great work! 8) 8) 8)
Cheers,
Lance

I couldn't have said it better myself, Pustota!  Masterfully done.  One would never know that this marvelous creation came from a very basic vacuform kit.

I could not express myself better than Lance. I am totally amazed that such a wonderful model could be produced from a vacuform kit. The finish is first class.

Great work (even if the weathering is a bit too much for my taste), agree too with Lance and Bud.
Never touched a vacuform kit, so I can only guess how much effort you put into this model!

Cheers,

I too agree with what has been said, an enviable result. It is also hard to believe it is in 1/48!
