Burt
Very nicely done. That's one striking paint scheme. With all those sharp demarcation lines it must have been quite an effort to mask it all out.

Hello Joel, thanks for the nice comment. Indeed, masking this model was a bear. It took longer to do the masking than it took to build and paint it.
