Thank you Rick, Dave, Antonio, Giuseppe, Andreas Stephen for your supporting words!
Fantastic recovery, I cannot wait to see that one at FFB!
Only 3 weeksends left

and still a lot of work. Hopefully just in time.
I have just caught up with this Frank. I am totally blown away by this model - not least those buckles!!
I try to improve my technology with every model, but this is the limit now in that scale.
Really pitty, that I cannot buy such parts.
I seriously doubt whether many of these personalised markings were ever as perfect as represented on transfer sheets
Sure, but to paint markings like this by hand would be a lot of effort, and I'm not that good with hand painting.
The next update follows soon.
Cheers,
Frank
