Wayne, that is indeed high praise coming from all of you...so far
Wait until you see the small block Chevy engine that I am whittling out of stretched spru and old credit cards

Well! That should be interesting then!

Because only practice breeds improvement. No-one showed up on this planet armed with expert modelling skills from day one.

Some fine engine work going on, nice pit also!
Just a note, those RLM colors weathered weird under operational (sea) conditions, so don't sweat the shades.
Just sayin'

 

[T Bolt]

Looking very nice Mike

 

[Rogi]

Sweet, love the detail work

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice to see you put this one in Mike and you're off to a good start.

I'll be entering the same kit myself but not sure which country I will tag it with as yet, kind of change my mind every time I look at it.
