Thanks James, Frog were generally more accurate than Airfix and Revell back then and have stood the test of time very well. They may be simple by modern standards but they also scrub up really well.

Excellent work, it really looks quite complex and busy and you have done a good job making it look so.

Thanks John, this kit has been lying in the stash for some time and the GB gave me the push to build it, eventually I do wish to build more Fireflies as a theme but I think ATM I have enough active themes.

That really has scrubbed up well.

Well done David on an excellent build.
