Great looking Spit. How was the build. Easy ? Right now I´m finishing the last details of the Mk VI and masking the Mk XVI for painting the second camo colour. I´ll post some pics in a couple of days:p

Awsome, fantastic models all of them. Very high and good level. Congratulations.

The boxes have two sizes, the larger has the double size in length that the small one. All have the same depth and heigh. They have four little pieces of rubber in the downside of the base, so they can´t slip. In this way I can put them in the shelf or I can make a pile with them in the corner...

I preserve them in acrylic boxes.
