Hi Geoffroy

Really nice work - both on the Zero and the pilot figure. Although I'm trying not to add to The Stash, I must admit it's very tempting to treat myself to another one of these Tamiya beauties - it's such a great kit!

All the best

what color have you used for the ID color bands? I have used floquil UP light orange right out of the bottle with good results, great work

Hi Geoffrey,

I tried to compose a message to you just awhile ago, but may have sent it before I was finished.
Did you get it?
