Well done, Michael - fantastic job!

Yes, it looks massive!!

I really like your diorama and base - looks like slate?

Nasty a/c but a fantastic model. Fine weathering. And if you like this one, I am pretty sure you will build more WNW models soon.  ;)

Hello Michael:

You model really looks the business with the subtle weathering.  Like someone said, you took a plain scheme and made it interesting and busy.  very nicely done.

Best
