Well I've got this one completed.


The kit is just great it goes together like a dream I highly recommend it, but the decals are just a little too thick the yellow ones took loads of micro sol to get them to sit into the panel line so I would recommend that you source some others.


And for this kit I used Vallejo metal colours for the first time and I think there great they perform just like Alclad but without the smell another one I recommend you at least try.


Well enough talking here's the photos I hope you like it

Without doubt one of your best Ian! Absolutely gorgeous, the paint is excellent with enough variations in the panels to keep it looking too silver.


I'm definitely getting one & probably some of the Vallejo metal paints - I doubt mine will be as good as yours though!

[Guest]
