My final completion for 2021.
Always fancied doing a Swiss one of these.
Pretty much OOB apart from the Decals and shaving some lumps and bumps off.
The armament isn't right but it's 1/72 I can't see it from a foot away.

I bought this a long time ago as it was extremely cheap. I didn't know about Mach-2 at the time and it wasn't as horrible as I thought it might be when I found out.
