Beautiful job on the kit and interior, Jim. Also the camouflage is very well done in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys ...the secret is to notch the tip of the antenna with your knife, use crazy glue, and only have ONE cup of coffee before you start work. the antenna is your junction point from all other wire points..if that makes sense..

Wow! I look at what I do, and call it kit construction. I look at what you do, Jim, and call it modelling! That is a beautiful job, and I thank you for the inspiration. .

Cheers,
Mike

Hey Russel Thanks again...and you know ..ive got a wacky Idea for this type of camo...Id like to try fusing the "Salt method" used by the armour guys into this "cloud pattern" camo and see what happens.
