Post by: WarrenD on February 09, 2015, 02:09:27 AM: Indeed, your strut work is great, especially since it's in 1/72nd. Since this is my preferred scale, I'm going to have to go back through this thread and look even more closely for some lessons.

Looking forward to seeing more from you on this.

Post by: malaula on March 01, 2015, 07:46:28 PM: judging by the thickness of the clear canopy that Mustang(?) is 72nd ,too,for that scale the pilot figure looks remarkably good!What make is it?
Your W12 looks sharp!I had built the old plastic bagged kit,which came without decals and instructions,that loz really looks the part.Wish I'd had it then!Congrats to this crisp and clean build!
