Thanks Spiros my friend, if you need details just ask !
Erik Gjørup said 3 years, 8 months ago:

You do notice some details when coming back to a project after some time. And it is a lot easier to sand as everything is nice and dry.

Always great to paint a bunch as the 'brush is loaded. I have been searching for this kit at a few places after seeing your build Allan. I shall return to check how it is done when I get around to making one. I have said it before, and I will say it again - your clean builds while still including detail is a real joy to look at. Thanks for sharing!
