Alvin Saracen

This is a scratch built model of a Alvin Saracen I made earlier this year. I copied the dimensions from a1/72 kit and made it four times bigger so 1/18 scale. This is the advantage of scratch building you can make it any size that takes your fancy.

Hi Derek,
Another nice model there , attention to detail is to a very high quality The Alvis Saracen was a pig to drive when it came to going up and down the box . Overall one hell of a great model there !
