Excellent build, but a bit big for my collection! I especially like the slightly uneven finish on the stripes - just as they would have been.

Looks great, but I'm with Lone Modeller- I'd have to build an addition to display it!

Lovely model Ratch and , if you don't mind me saying so, damned quick off the mark in getting hold of one and building it too 8-).

Pretty amazing :)
