Louie da fly Posted September 30, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Mark and welcome. Is this a kit or a scratch build? Either way, it looks very good. Make sure you start a build log - that way you'll get a lot of encouragement, plus help and advice (if needed - though it looks like you may not need it! ) JeffT and mtaylor 1 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
