Congratulations Mort on finishing your Victory.  You took an excellent kit and your embellishments turned this into an outstanding model.  You have to be mighty proud every-time you look at your Victory.  This one will definitely become a family heirloom.

Nice job.  You used a lot of unique techniques to get this far in your build.  It is really turning out to be a nice model.

If there is enough interest I will start another log and detail my journey with it.  Working this tiny certainly has its challenges.  Its not easy.

Please start a build log on this smaller scale Speedwell.  I know it will turn out to be a fantastic model and I look forward to see what you do in such a small scale.

I would definitely like to build a 3/32 scale Speedwell.  I like the small scale models.  Knowing your design techniques, this will be an exceptional kit.
