    Nothing better than giving even an awful kit the chance to be built, let alone built by your super skills, my friend @mvtb!
    Looking forward to it!

    The first results look nice, Marcus @mvtb
    With awful, do you mean the fitting or the quality in general?

    Yeah, I know just how awful these kits are. But I'll bet you of all people will turn out a great model, @mvtb.

    Well done, Marcus @mvtb
    Usualy my daughter claims the pilots as sort of collectors item, she knows I don't use them for the build.
