Fantastic work on that project. How many man-hours went onto this one?
Hello Chas, thank you, the work took approximately 200 hours in total.
Wonderful build Anthony. A labour of love on that one, especially on a not to seen subject in kit form. Excellent 👍
Thank you for your words Guy... although this kit was released in 2001, is not good in details or accessories, certainly that merits working on it much more carefully... greetings!
Nicely done, Anthony. Like all the detail.
