About as good as it gets...it just doesn't look like a "mere model"! Very, very, crisp!

I hate to say this Des but I'm always looking for a fault somewhere . . . anywhere . . . anything . . . but everything is so pristine and perfect . . . as always. Masterpiece modelling my friend!

Cheers,

Chris

P.S. Don't let what I wrote put any pressure on you.  ;D

I have been staring at these pictures for fully five minutes and still cannot work out how you do it Des. That is truly mind-blowing - I am still trying to tell myself that it really IS a model.

Fantastic work Des
Once again it looks more like 1/2 scale than 1/32.

Your models truly set the standard. The engine looks like it could start and run, I can almost smell gasoline fumes when I look at the photos.

Beautiful work.
I hope you have it lashed down when you are working on it, Des - coz an accidental flick of the prop with a little solvent vapour in the air and I think it would take off!
