      I am getting to the point when I will be painting the larger parts and adding all the other parts but here is a mock up of what it currently looks like.
      I have often thought about buying the full kit but having see a video of the unboxing it doesn't look much different than what I have now so I will be giving it a miss. Click image for larger version

        Hi Peter
        Stunning. That's a lot of bling. She really is a huge model.

              Got some good news I have finally managed to get the last remaining six missing issues so I will be back on to this one once I have done some plastic I should have them within the next week.

                Great news Peter. Are they hard to come by? What about prices?

                  Hi Peter
                  That's good news. It must be nerve-wracking to have come so far and need just six more issues. I suppose it is just a case of patience and searching everywhere.

                    The last few were rather hard it's just been a matter of waiting until they turned up.

                            A great build Peter, you have done an amazing job, and well done on finding all the missing issues
                            Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                              Those tiny AA guns must have been an eye straining job.
