Looking very nice there Chip!

A great job on the camo and I love how you've tackled the 'tulip' nose :)

Considering the state it was in when I got it I am quite pleased with the way it turned out. This was one of those kits that would probably have spent it's life sat at the back of the cupboard, so it was convenient that this GB was suggested and gave an old sorry dog a new life. Thanks go to Narayan for suggesting it, and looking after us so well during the build process. :beer:

Beautiful! I think it looks very good in this scheme, and an excellent nosejob. Very attractive. ;-)
Great fix. One can't tell how it came to start with.
Excellent job, Chip. :)

A lovely finish Chip and worthy of the hard work you have put in. I like the base you have it on too.
