Thank you, Giuseppe and Lance - very kind of you both to say.

This project was a challange set to me by Lone Modeller (Steve) so we have him to thank on this one as well - it was my first serious attempt at scratch building missing details.

Regards

Dave

Hey Dave, I see you favour the exposed detail too - but in 1/72 it's most impressive. I remember making the Airfix DVa decades ago and I'm sure the kit hasn't improved much, but you've made a silk purse out of this particular sow's ear. Lovely stuff.

Hello, Mark - thank you!

The paint I always use are Revell 'Aqua colour' acrylics.  The green is dark no. 39.  However, Revell don't offer a purple colour in their range so I used 'Game Colour' Ozing purple.

Hi Dave,

many thanks for your reply with the camouflage colours: they look good to my eyes and eminently suitable, so I'll be trying them out in the near future!

Cheers,

Mark
