Post by: Oleg on July 08, 2017, 05:24:13 AM: So far I`m planning like having no upper cowling cover. As for the fuel tank, and re-painting it, as the first try was not very satisfying

Post by: lone modeller on September 25, 2017, 02:35:50 AM: That is a beautiful model indeed. First class in every way - I could easily mistake that for a much larger scale model.

Stephen has stated my impressions very well. Your very clean and crisp paintwork and finishing details are most impressive, a beautiful model!

Post by: Sarcococca on September 26, 2017, 04:03:27 AM: Extremly nice and fine colour detail on the engine.
The cockpit is stunning. All in all it`s a fantastic model kit from CSM, and the finished model is of masterclass.

Thx for sharing
