Really a nice smooth build. The only additions to the kit where the forward stanchions and long wire antenna.
And the Auction? We donated $1,200USD to the local pet shelter.

Really a nice smooth build. The only additions to the kit where the forward stanchions and long wire antenna.

Lovely build Jeff and well done raising money for the sanctuary. We have similar animal shelters over here and they almost always depend upon public donations.
