Here are the pics for this truely very good model, perhaps the best i ever had in hands, but not for that an easy kit...

Truly magnificent, Xan!  An absolute masterpiece!  Every aspect, from the custom decals to the rigging, is pure magic.  I love it!

I have been following this as this was a scheme that I looked at when I scratch built one some time ago - and then realised that I could not make the markings. You have produced a simply superb model - easy or not - a real gem and something to be extremely proud of. Wonderful in every way.

What a wonderful model!
I would be more then lucky if the kit in my stash look one day as half as good as yours! It will be my build template, thanks for the report.

Cheers,
