Hello Des,

This build was and is pure magic. Still can't believe that human hands can produce such a beauty. In all humility i take my hat off!

Kind regards
Patrick

I know that I'm saying nothing original Des, but this is a magnificent piece of work.

People talk of museum quality, but there are museums and museums. This model would grace the finest.

Best wishes
Nigel

For your first scratch build this is amazing, and to do it in 1:72 scale is even more amazing, brilliant result Ian.
